Hi,

today I did some benchmarks. I used the old
FC4700 system on the backup mail server.
I created a new file system (ext2;ext3;jfs),
untar 2 folders with ~10k files
and unmounted the device.

Now I mounted the device again, switched
onto the mount point and did 3 times
time find . -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;

First one is directly from disk, the two other
runs are running more ore less from cache.
This procedure was repeated three times.

My conclusions are: The file system is fragmented. On the
original location one folder with 5k files took nearly
2 minutes and on the newly created FS 23sec. !

Can I check the theory ?
Is the only way to solve this issue, tar everything and
create a new file system and copy ever file ...
It's a factor of 10 ......


Bye, Peer
