-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to rh on 4/16/2008 12:14 PM: | Hello, | Running du -sk on an apache disk cache containing 10GB of data and | 30,000 directories and files | I see du using maybe .03% of the cpu. It takes an hour for it to complete.
Probably because du is I/O intensive; the cpu is probably rather idle because most of your time is spent waiting on the disk to spin to the next inode to inspect. | | Are there any plans to make du multi-threaded? Or otherwise improve | it's performance? Is it filesystem sensitive? We are using ext3. I doubt multi-threading will help an I/O bound process. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
