Re: Request for bigger block devices (LVM)

Along these same lines, it'd be nice if the filesystems could function 
well with large disks, too.  ext3 really needs the htree patch to make 
large directories work.  Better yet, XFS and/or JFS support would be 
fantastic.  (Given a choice, I'd choose XFS)

I'm really loving my RHEL3 purchases except for this one thing.  I was a 
little shocked to find out that an 'Enterprise' offering was limited to 
1TB block sizes (even on 64bit platforms!) and small directories, and 
it's certainly put a cramp in our product design.  But I understand 
these things take time, so I'll tough it out.
