Hi all, I am testing my btrfs root partition with "max_inline=0", and 64k leaf size for weeks and it seems that it is fine.
AFAIK btrfs inline small files into metadata by default, I am curious why? If there is only a few small files, then there will be neither effect nor benefit at all If there is a lot of small files, then the size of metadata will be undesirable due to deduplication there are also some email threads related to problem of metadata inline (i don't know whether they are fixed in recent kernel): http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg16295.html http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg05265.html How about turning off inline so that btrfs works better "out of the box"? ching -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
