I tried repeating the same measurements (read() an entire file, readahead() the entire file) for a variety of other file systems: XFS, JFS, Reiserfs. In each case, the time taken for the read loop to complete and the readahead() system call to complete were similar (10 to 15 seconds for a 1GB file). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
