When I migrate my infra to Hetzner There are a few disk limit such ad max 10TB per volume. On bare metal, max I can get for nvme is 24tb. I though i never hot these I found myself now learning table space, btrfs to join multiple volume or sepearate index/table into different volume. my database now even for a 2 years app get to 40tb. I looked around and even on aws boggest ebs volume is 64tb. what storage you are using? and what size is it? | ||||||||

At ~35TB Postgres we ended up separating pg_wal onto its own volume first — write amplification there was quietly eating 20–30% of our NVMe throughput before we caught it. | ||||||||

We’re on Hetzner too, using multiple 10TB volumes joined with ZFS. Total size right now is around 45TB, mostly cold data. For hot tables we keep them on NVMe (~20TB). It’s not perfect, but works fine so far. | ||||||||
