Hi all,
I would like to thank all those who responded to the following:
I wonder if the following is possible ( I think not myself ).
I have 2 by 2GB disks available on two seperate Sol 4.1.3_U1
Sparc5 / Sparc20 machines.
I have an application who's output is 3 files with a total
capacity in access of 2.5GB.
I would like to make the 2 by 2GB disks into a single virtual 4GB
partition via the automounter, so that the application thinks it
has enough contiguous disk space
I know the simplest answer is to buy a 4GB disk but I would like to
make use of these spare disks.
A summary will be forthcoming.
------------------------------------------------------
The general consensus was as follows:
4.1.x only supports a filesystem / partition size limit of 2GB.
Use Online DiskSuite to stripe / concatenate into single 4GB partition,
and the disks must be on the same machine. ( This
allows filesystems to span over more than one physical disk ).
You'll need Online DiskSuite version 1.0 for SunOS to do this.
Make sure patch 101590-03 is applied as well
The automounter system does not solve this problem.
If you have a Solaris 2.x machine, then share a 4GB plus disk
to the network and mount it on the Sol 1.1.x machine thats
running the application.
