Subject: optimising filesystem for many small files
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:29:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <84c89ac10910162359j5a49964co7c191dffbce9eb28@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
System : Fedora 11 x86_64
Current Filesystem: 150G ext4 (formatted with "-T small" option)
Number of files: 50 Million, 1 to 30K png images
We are generating these files using a python programme and getting
very slow IO performance. While generation there in only write, no
read. After generation there is heavy read and no write.
I am looking for best practices/recommendation to get a better performance.
Any suggestions of the above are greatly appreciated.
Viji
