Advanced File Storage Area on an XFS filesystem

Edit online

During the first part of the single ECM node study, the high-performance filesystem XFS is used for the Advanced FileNet® File Storage Area. XFS is a good choice for large files or large file systems.

In addition, the Linux™ Logical Volume Manager (LLVM) is used to manage a Logical Volume (LV).

The XFS filesystem is created on a striped LV consisting of 6 x 100 GiB FCP/SCSI disks.

The following example shows how the XFS File Storage Area is populated with the data that is shown in Table 1.
