You may want to think about some sort of higher end LVM/filesystem configuration.
Simply changing filesystems without putting extra intelligence and disk I/O bandwidth between the OS and directory access is not going to help much.

Gidday,
Are you using ext4 for production system? Or is it better to opt for a more
conservative strategy, like ext3 for instance?
What are your experiences?
Thanks in advance,

Hey everyone. I am in the process of setting up an iSCSI SAN to function as a log storage device for a number of servers. All of the initiators see the volume, and originally I formatted it with ext3 and went on my merry way. However after some research I'm having concerns that I should nuke the... (1 Reply)

Hello,
we got a MD3000i used as a network share between two servers (say A and B). The problem we are facing is that file/directories created by server A are not visible on server B (and viceversa). It's not a problem with permission (chmod 777 doesn't help).
The MD3000i was at first used ony... (0 Replies)

Hey everyone.
I am going to be using XFS for a project coming up. We're running RHEL 5.5. Simply typing
modprobe xfs
works just fine. The kernel module loads without any issue. Is there any issue with doing this and inserting "modprobe xfs" into /etc/rc.modules?
Is there a major reason to... (0 Replies)

I have a RHEL6 VM that requires the use of remote storage using iSCSI and XFS for the mount point. Here's the issue:
With XFS you can't use the _netdev option for your mount point (pause for network) so my mount point doesn't mount properly because the network isn't up yet. I've moved the... (3 Replies)

quotaoff
QUOTAON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual QUOTAON(8)
NAME
quotaon, quotaoff -- turn filesystem quotas on and off
SYNOPSIS
quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] -a
quotaoff [-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
quotaoff [-g] [-u] [-v] -a
DESCRIPTION
quotaon announces to the system that disk quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems. quotaoff announces to the system that the
specified filesystems should have any disk quotas turned off. The filesystems specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and be mounted.
quotaon expects each filesystem to have quota files named quota.user and quota.group which are located at the root of the associated file
system. These defaults may be overridden in /etc/fstab. By default both user and group quotas are enabled.
Available options:
-a If the -a flag is supplied in place of any filesystem names, quotaon/quotaoff will enable/disable all the filesystems indicated in
/etc/fstab to be read-write with disk quotas. By default only the types of quotas listed in /etc/fstab are enabled.
-g Only group quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.
-u Only user quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.
-v Causes quotaon and quotaoff to print a message for each filesystem where quotas are turned on or off.
Specifying both -g and -u is equivalent to the default.
FILES
quota.user at the filesystem root with user quotas
quota.group at the filesystem root with group quotas
/etc/fstab filesystem table
