Restrictions and Limitations

General

  • To obtain better performance, you are advised to use the operating systems listed in Supported Operating Systems, which have passed the compatibility test.
  • Currently, SFS does not support replication.
  • Currently, SFS does not support cross-region access.

SFS Turbo

Table 1 SFS Turbo restrictions

Item

General

Access method

VPN, Direct Connect, and Cloud Connect

Max. bandwidth

2 GB/s

Max. IOPS

100,000

Min. latency

1 to 2 ms

Max. capacity per file system

320 TB

Supported protocol

NFSv3

Max. number of clients per file system

500

Max. number of authorized VPCs per file system

20

Max. size of a single file

16 TB

Max. number of files or subdirectories per file system

1 billion

Max. number of files or subdirectories in a single directory

20 million

NOTE:

If you need to execute the ls, du, cp, chmod, or chown command on a directory, you are advised to place no more than 500,000 files or subdirectories in that directory. Otherwise, requests may take long times as the NFS protocol sends a large number of requests to traverse directory files and requests are queueing up.

Max. directory depth (unit: layer)

100

Max. path length (unit: byte)

1,024

Max. soft link length (unit: byte)

1,024

Max. hard link length (unit: byte)

255

Max. number of file systems

32 by default. You can submit a service ticket to increase the quota.

File system backup

Supported

Backup data restoring to the original file system

Not supported

NOTE:

SFS Turbo uses single-AZ deployment. SFS Turbo file systems will fail if their AZ fails.

File locking with Flock

Not supported

Cross-region mounting via domain name

Not supported

NOTE:
  • When you mount a file system using its domain name, cross-region mounting is not supported. To mount a file system across regions, use the file system IP address for mounting.
  • The file system domain name randomly resolves to a corresponding domain name server IP address, so some domain name servers may have lots of mounts while others have only a few. It is recommended that you use the domain name servers to the maximum extent as uneven mounts may affect the file system performance.

Cache acceleration

Not supported

File system tagging

  • A maximum of 10 tags can be added to a file system.
  • Tag keys of a file system must be unique.
