Subject: dir_level explained?
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2015 11:56:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151004095647.GC3177@schmorp.de> (raw)

Hi!

In all my tests I intentionally didn't play with dir_level, to get an idea of
baseline performance. I also wasn't worried because my standard response to
slow random reads is dmcache, but now that I realised I can't use dmcache
with these drives, I got more interested in dir_level.

If I understand it correctly, higher values of dir_level potentially waste
more space but gain performance. However, I have no clue about what the
trade-off really is.

Could you explain what kind of extra space usage I can expect from higher
levels of dir_level, or what the values mean?
