Subject: delalloc is crippling fs_mark performance
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:11:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4880C0B2.9040706@redhat.com> (raw)

running fs_mark like this:

fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0

(256 subdirs, 100000 files/iteration, 4 threads, 20k files, no sync)

on a 1T fs, with and without delalloc (mount option), is pretty interesting:

somehow delalloc is crushing performance here.  I'm planning to wait
'til the fs is full and see what the effect is on fsck, and look at the
directory layout for differences compared to w/o delalloc.

But something seems to have gone awry here ...

This is on 2.6.26 with the patch queue applied up to stable.
