Hello,

I have a RAID-6 Partition with the Areca ARC-1231 card on a S5000PAL Intel system with 6 disks as part of the raid volume. The system has been set up as Write-back cache and the raid card has a 2 GIG memory cache on it. It is installed on Freebsd 7.0 STABLE with SCHED_ULE enabled.

I have a folder with a lot of small and big files in it that total 3009 files. In the user system we have 2200 users in the password file.

1) When I do a ls -lh on the raid 6 array with 6 disks in the array it takes aver 16 seconds before it starts to display anything on the screen. 2) While running a tar command on another shell, the time goes to 28 seconds for the same list to start showing.
3) When I do a ls (with no other options) it starts to list right away.
4) When I do a ls -ln it displays right away as well pointing to the slowdown being the mapping of the users in the db lookup.

I have the same directory with the same number of files on a Raid 5 SCSI partition on Freebsd 4.X and it only takes 2 seconds to start displaying the list with the command ls -lh.

Any ideas why it takes so long for this on Freebsd 7.0 stable?

The partition this folder is on it /dev/da0s1f with a total size of 1.7T and a usage of 63G

Any suggestions or help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
