[SunHELP] UFS + logging on Solaris 8

[Steve McAuley]

I've looked in all the man pages, documentation and searched news groups for
an answer to this question but so far haven't gotten a direct answer. the
mount_ufs man page in Solaris 8 states that:

                      The log is allocated from  free  blocks  on
                      the file system, and is sized approximately
                      1 Mbyte per 1 Gbyte of file system, up to a
                      maximum   of  64  Mbytes.

Does this mean that there is a 64GB file system size limit? I'd like to use
ufs logging on a 400GB filesystem but something tells me that might not be a
good idea. Also, what happens if the file system fills up and the log can't be
written to? Is it then corrupted - rendering the file system an incorherant
jumble of ones and zeros? Any way to have multiple copies of the logs?

Thanks in advance for your help.
