Hi, I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but let me try :) I have a server where I mainly using btrfs because of the builtin compress feature. This is a central log server, storing logs from tens of thousands devices, using a text files in thousands of directories in millions of files.
I've started to think it was not the best idea to choose btrfs for this :) The performance of this server was always worst than others where I don't use btrfs, but I thought this is just because the i/o overhead of compression and the not-so-good esx host providing the disk to this machine. But now, even rm a single file takes ages, so there is something definitely wrong. So, I'm looking for some recommendations for such an environment where the data-security functions of btrfs is not as important than the performance. I was searching the net for some comprehensive performance documents for months, but I cannot find it so far. Thank you in advance Laszlo
