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 ......
