Hello, thanks to all who gave me any suggestion on my request.
The Tip from Charles was only the beginning. The last step was to setting vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem via sysctl to an higher value, in my case 20MB. The copying from all 523000 files has used over 7MB dirhash_mem. Now after setting the ufs.dirhash_maxmem i have the performance from 4-5 MByte/s. i thanks all people that gave me the Power to serve :-))) regards Michael 2005/5/10, Charles Swiger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On May 10, 2005, at 6:46 AM, Michael Schuh wrote: > > Now i have 2 Directories with ~500.000-600.000 files with an size of > > ~5kByte. > > by copying the files from one disk to another or an direktory on the > > same disk > > (equal behavior), i can see this behavior: > > [ ... ] > > Can anyone explain me from where this behavior can come? > > Come thie eventually from the filesytem, or from my disks, so that > > these are to hot?
