Hi, Matt Jarvis: > Thanks for your reply - the application creates a new logfile every > minute, and only logfiles which are closed are copied down to the > branch. My understanding of udba=inotify was that it had a higher system > overhead - is that correct ?
Then I'd suggest you to try over-mounting for your logfiles, and see what will happen to the disk space of over-mounted tmpfs. # mount -t aufs ... /your/aufs # mount -t tmpfs ... /your/aufs/logdir Additionally the disk eater in your case may be aufs xino files. By default the xino files are created on the first writable branch. Please check /sys/fs/aufs/*/xino if you have, or try specifyng 'xino=' aufs mount option, to create xino files on other fs. And yes, udba=inotify consumes system resources, but I don't you know it is too much or allowable for you. By the way, current aufs version has some bad code around inotify (today's update). I am fixing them now. Junjiro Okajima ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
