over here but pretty impressive too.
We took one of our main mail and application cluster servers offline because we replaced the hardware and i got the chance to play around a little bit with DAOSEST 1.1.
This is a server that has truly grown through all the years. With the data stored on multiple linked devices, it was the one where i truly was not shure if this great piece of software would run.
Here are the results after running roundabout 40 hours.
Total DB’s analyzed: 1187
Total DB’s skipped due to errors: 13
Total Size of NSF’s Examined: 916.1 GB
Total Attachments found: 2243058

Total DAOS Eligible Attachments: 2243058
Estimated Size of DAOSified NSF’s: 250.5 GB
Estimate Size of DAOS dir: 261.7 GB
Total Disk Savings: 439.8 GB
Wow.
And yes i believe that people are living in their mail system by looking at those numbers. And it seems that giving them access to a decent file system solution, using teamrooms and quickr does not help stopping them from still storing everything in their email application.
