Hello, i have a question for fs wizards.
suppose i can persuade modern spinning disk to do "large" reads (say 512K to 1M) at a time. also, suppose file system on such modern spinning drive is used to store large files (tens to hundreds of megabytes). is there any way i can tweak the file system parameters (block size, layout, etc) to help it to get as close to "disk's sequential read rate" as possible. I understand that i will not be able to get 100MB/sec single client sequential read rate, but, can i get it into sustained 40-50MB/sec rate? also, can i reduce performance impact caused by "small reads" such as directory access etc. thanks, max _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
