Folks,
Just curious as we're probably getting new NetApp boxes with 144GB drives:
How are people handling 144GB drives with the tradeoff of volume size, back up windows, parity drive, nested qtree limits, etc.
I understand at DOT 7.x there will be a logical volume manager, but in the meantime, using a 3 disk raid group to get a managable volume size will be kind of costly in parity drives, but a 6-8 drive raid group is rather huge for backup and, last I knew, we couldn't have nested qtrees.
Thanks in advance John Breyfogle
