Who's is bigger? was RE: [SunRescue] Re: NetApps?

[Chris Byrne]

Well raw storage wise I have over around 600gb, the largest block of which
is in my JBOD (216gb raw), plus 45 gig in my U10, 18 gig in my U60, 160gig
in my wifes art box, 18 gigs in my mac clones, 80 gig in my main gaming
machine, and about 50 gig in assorted unused drives.

But anyway, my largest single volume is 216gb raw, -72gig parity for 144gb,
followed by my multiple 80 gig ide volumes. My physically largest piece of
storage is a 6 slot generic JBOD

There were one or two people on this list who are 'tied' with me-- I
have a fully-loaded Sun RSM-2000 (A3000) disk array w/ 35 4.3GB disks
for ~120GB of storage usable in two different RAID5 stripes. I know
it's not the largest for diskspace, but it does take up a full 56" Sun
Datacenter cabinet making it one of the physically larger pieces that
folks would have at home. Eventually (when I win the lottery) I'll
replace the 4GB disks w/ 72GB disks... 35*72 == 2520GB, or 2.5TB.

We need to divvy up this award into categories:

o physically largest disk array (JBODs, cabinet size)
o physically largest hardware-based array (A3500, A3000, RSM2000)
o logically largest disk array (veritas, disksuite on a JBOD, SSA101,
etc)
o logically largest disk array (hardware-based, RM6.22 on a A3500,
A1000)
o largest single stripe (RM6.22 on my RSM2000 has a limit of 20 disks
per stripe, so I have one 20 disk stripe and one 14 disk stripe w/ 1
hot-spare.)
