Does anyone know if a file can span accross multiple devices in a clustered file system? Say that a file is created on a particular device in a clustered file system. As the file continues to grow it fills the device that it was created on. Will the remainder of the file be written to one of the other devices in the cluster, or will the process writing to the file abend? This becomes an interesting situation when the Data Migration Facility and File System Monitoring are running on the clustered file system. Fsmon shows %used based on the whole cluster of devices, but df shows the %free on each device. Can I assume that fsmon knows what it is doing and that the clustered file system need not be migrated until the entire cluster hits the warning/critical threshold?
