Max UFS filesystems size for Solaris 2.X

What are the max limits on UFS filesystem sizes for Solaris 2.6, 8 and 9?
Thanks

It's called a "search". ;) SunSolve Info Doc 76856.
Solaris 2.6 - 8 -- 1 TB limit
Solaris 9 and higher - 16 TB limit
Individual files, however, can only be about 1,012 GB.

Max Expansion card size for treo palm 700wx

I can't seem to find the max expansion card size for a treo palm 700wx. I purchased a 4gb Scan Disk which should be compatible with most ever device so expect that the hardware dosen't support up to 4gb. If anyone has futher information on this I would appriciate it.

that I have used with no problem is a Transcend 150X Secure Digital Card 4GB. My pictures and tunes along with backups reside on it. Had it for a year. In use 2200.03MB with 1718.30MB free currently.

UFS filesystem limit on solaris 10 - sparc

Hi All,
I have one question in regards with soalris UFS file system on Sun Solaris 10 Sparc.
currently i have one mount point with 1.5 TB of space with UFS filesystem connected to EMC SAN, now i am going to add one metalun of 1 more TB and exapnd it on SAN.
In regards with this i have some concerns:
1) Will UFS support 2.5 TB on a single slice?
2) Simply growfs command will work or do we need to perform additional steps?
Steps :
--> bkp data and umount the filesystem
--> run devfsadm
--> use growfs command
--> mount partition again
Any suggestions in this regards are really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need help.
Thanks in advance.FWIW, that's an EFI label. Above a certain size, "standard" Solaris disk labels don't work, so EFI labels are required. Is that the same as the VTOC that was available before you enlarged the LUN. IIRC that limit might be 2 TB.
Since you refer to slice 2, I am assuming here the old label may not have been an EFI label. Also, EFI labels do not support overlapping slices, so the old Solaris convention of slice 2 being the entire disk no longer applies.

Maximum Core File Size for Solaris 8

I believe that RLM_INFINITY for Solaris for core file sizes comes to 2GB.
Is there any mechanism ( patch ) etc. by which this can be increasd ?

if your application is 32-bit, then the core file size would be limited to 4GB (by default) and if your application is
64-bit, then the core file size would be limited to usigned long max (by default).

Re-arranging the filesystem sizes in Solaris 10.

Hi,
I have done a fresh install of a machine using the CDs. I would like increase many of the file system sizes including the root filesystem.
It is very easy in HP UX using the utility Ignite UX.
In Solaris, do we have any way to do a system backup and while restoring have a different filesystem sizes.
I have heard about flar not sure we can use that images for the above activity.
If you know or done this earlier let me know the steps you have done.
Thanks

Your Phyiscal Memory will be used somewhat as follows:-
- Lets say 1GB for the OS ...
- 1.5GB for zfs arc cahce if your useing ZFS.
- The sum of your PGAs and SGA's should fit within the remainder of ram.
- And your may want a little more to be sure and for other things; monitroting software agents, em etc.
In order that you can use more virtual memoy than you have physical memory for your will porably want to add a swap file, and for a 16GB machine this would probably be 4 / 8 or perhaps up to 16GB depending if would will occasionally have higher virutal memory demands or if poeple but big files in /tmp. In general swap -s can be used to monitor a shortage, though it can foolled if zfs_arc_cache is not limited.
The situation for zones not different unless you are using zone.max-swap and the physical capped memory.
If you have zone with a physical capped memory of 5GB, and a zone.max-swap of 8GB with is af the zone has a swapfile of 3GB; and you have to make sure:
- The global zone is able to give that amount of memory to the non-global zone.
- The global zone can provider the zone.max.swap from its virutal memory.
- That the sga+pga and /tmp usage and other will fit in zone.max-swap ... use swap -s in the zone to monitor.

Max Hard Drive size for Ultra 10s

Hi,
I'm kinda new to sun and I have a ultra 10s with a 9 Gig factory installed HD.
I was wondering what the maximum sized IDE hard drive that can be installed. I would like to mirror the system as well. I've seen another post about this but the max size was a 27 Gig drive and didn't explain how to mirror. I have Solaris 8 1/01 meda kit does that include the required software to mirror the drives. I think it's called Raid Manager?
Many thanks

I'm not sure what the max drive size supported on an Ultra-10, but most
new Sun products are shipping with 40 GByte EIDE drives and use the
same chipset. Caveat emptor: Solaris <7 may or may not support EIDE
larger than 8GBytes, but since you are on Solaris 8 you should be ok.
For SCSI drives (requires a PCI SCSI HBA for the Ultra-10) the size can
be quite large. The most common large size SCSI drives today is 180
GBytes, but SCSI is designed to scale much larger.
You don't want RAIDManager for mirroring. Look for Solstice DiskSuite (SDS)
in your media distribution. If I'm not mistaken, it is cleverly hidden in
the "EA" directory on CD 2of2 in the media kit. Also, look for docs on
mirroring root using SDS on http://docs.sun.com

Max GPT partition size for Windows 2008R2

Is the max partition size 256tb -64K? for 64k stripe size?? What is the max?

Hi Jared,
From Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x64 edition, and later versions, the maximum raw partition of
18 exabytes can be supported. (Windows file systems currently are limited to 256 terabytes each.)
GPT disks support partitions of up to 18 exabytes (EBs) in size and up to 128 partitions per disk.

Max. hard drive size for Pavilion a800n

Hi,
One last question, I'm replacing the hard drive (160G) in my old Pavilion a800n and am wondering what the max size would be (would like at least 500G). Guess I could partition if needed...
Win. XP (32 bit), Phoenix BIOS, LTD 3.11, 9/2/2004.
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Sorry, based on the following specs, I would not upgrade the HDD. If you need more space for data/files, buy an external HDD.

Max Hard Drive Size for Airport Extreme 4th Generation (A1354)?

I've got a 4th gen Airport Extreme (A1354) (MC340LL/A).
Currently I'm using a 2TB Western Digital USB2 hard drive connected externally.
I'd like to add a larger capacity hard drive so that I can back up more computers. What's the maximum HD size and configuration I can add to this Airport?
Thanks!
Seth

For now, the nearest available information may not be fully suggestive of
the possible largest or unofficially supported external HDD it may use...
Since a similar-spec Time Capsule has the option for either a 2TB or 3TB
internal HDD as part of that configuration, the safe bet suggests 3TB.
There may be an issue with larger drives and multiple computers using
one large drive, since I'd seen some mention of a few user problems when
two or more Macs were sharing Time Machine storage on one larger HDD.
And someone may know of the information about a software utility that may
be able to help keep track of the files or organize them, in such a situation.
In passing, some weeks ago, I'd read about such a utility to help alleviate an
issue that may result from two or more Macs with Time Machine files on the
same backup hard disk drive. But did not keep the link nor retain those details.
If you did get a larger external hard disk drive of sufficient spin rate RPM
and cache size, then it may be a simple matter to format it with partitions
so extra space may be in reserve or any capacity unable to work with
the total configuration could be used for general storage, apart from TM.
Hopefully there is a good drive available for that application.
I'd inquire of OWC as they have some examples of hardware.
Good luck & happy computing!

Max disk drive size for dv7-6187cl

Max Hard drive size for Powerbook 1.5

I need to increase the internal hard drive on my '15 Powerbook 1.5Ghz. What is the max size that the Powerbook can handle? I would like to get one that's at least 160g.

The maximum drive size that your PB can handle is far larger than any currently available drive. The largest drive available (or likely to become available) is this 320GB Western Digital drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136345
It's also available from other vendors, of course; to find other vendors selling it, just Google its Western Digital model number.

Max Micro SD size for 5800

Does anyone know what the maximum micro sd card size is for the 5800?
Also, I've just got the phone and it's great but the GPS is not good! I don't understand why my own sat nav can work in a few seconds without the need to connect to the internet while the 5800 seems to be reliant on it to perform!
Anyone else having problems? Great phone though!

The 5800 will work with 16GB cards but you need to make sure the card is fast enough. A class 2 card may well cause problems for you due to the reduced sustained throughput. Look for a class 4 or 6.
You can stop the GPS from connecting to the internet by turning off A-GPS.

Max. Harddisk Size for MacPro 2006

Hello to everybody
I got a real good offer for a used macpro xeon two Xeon 5150 "Woodcrest" Dual-Core processors 2,66 2006. right now i work with the late G5 Dual 2,3. For a software reason (Adobe Photoshop CS5) i need to buy a Intel Mac. i read in everymac.com Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 (Original) Specs. Apple formally supports up to 2 TB of storage with four 500 GB hard drives (one in each internal bay).
This is a problem for me becorse i need as a photographer much HDD space i use a Nikon D700. I use to HDD in my G5 one with 1.5 TB and one with 700GB. I like to use both of them in the (new) MacPro plus 2 new HDD in the other 2 HDD Holders minimum with 1,5 TB.
Did anybody know if the large HDD's work in the MacPro 2,66 ?
Thank you in advance for your Help!
Happy New Year and kind Regards
Julius

There is no limit. Intel and EFI uses GUID partitions, and there is no size limit.
Problem is those articles do get written, are based solely on what was available at the time, are never ever updated like other Apple tech articles, Docs and Dev Notes. Such as this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2609
Memory and performance:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#667-memory
One place that does have a major impact: SSDs for system, and more SSDs for scratch. In fact, there just aren't enough SATA ports, ever, to do an ideal setup - but - there are 6 x SATA ports: 4 sleds and 2 extra SATA (lower optical bay area, or run to external). Great for pair of SSDs for booting.
You can load up to 32GB RAM also, another think 'left out' in some articles. And install an ATI 5770 (but sadly not the nVidia GTX 285 or Quadro 4000 which both take advantage of CUDA and Mercury engine in CS5.
I would really look at the price of the machine, its value as far as work, and only if you just can't jump on newer 2008 or later. It is possible to upgrade to 8-core with X5355/5365 off ebay but that only makes sense ($800 ballpark) for people who have had theirs for years and want to get another year or two out of their Mac Pro.
Memory bandwidth has also come a long ways since '06 and 3-5x faster.
GPT supports in excess of the largest drive available, 3TB.
And drives have not usually needed more, rather less, in terms of power and heat, so it isn't that a 2TB drive with more platters uses power power either.
That said, there are (always) some people that had trouble. And there are always new models, new firmware, with of course, new bugs.
And there are people with 4-5-6 x 2TB drives for 8-12TB of internal storage.
That said, I hope it was a very very inexpensive good value. Else, I'd have said get the 2009/2010 4-core for $1995.
You'll always be able to add - and hope you do - PCIe SATA controller (RAID6 even) and be able to attach or hang up to 20 drives even.
Your G5 drives - off load the files to another drive and reformat.
Don't leave drives in the older Apple Partition format, initialize as GUID.
You will be fine, and WD Black is very popular in 1 and 2TB.
