Hello. what i realized yesterday, after several recompilings:
i've tested it with gcc3.3 and 2.6.14 - same problem with reiser-patch + reiser-fix-fsync-patch. without the reiser-fix-fsync-patch, it seems to work again, with both, gcc3.3 and gcc4.1. but this is still very strange to me, as it worked some time ago with the same patches :/ the architecture is i368. i've forgotten to mention that in my first post - sorry for that. > > Please try > ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.15-rc5-mm3/reiser4-for-2.6.15-rc5-mm3-1.patch.gz fine, i will give it a try. what are the main changes in that patch? > > are there any mount/compile options, which could produce better performance > > with larger files (i.e. 2gb and more)? > > > > What does your load do with large files? normal cpu-load is not very high, the only thing i can see, is the wait-io on a very high level (sometimes >90% for several seconds). the throughput is therefore quite low - less than 1mbyte/sec. the 2gb file i was talking about is a virtual machine's disk. the host is running ide-disks with 40-50mbyte/s transfer rates. creating such a large image on reiser4 is really fast, but working with them is not. thx anyway.
