Ok, before I tried the f2fs git I made another short test with the original 3.18.21 f2fs, and it was as fast as before. Then I used the faulty f2fs module,. which forced a reboot.
Now I started to redo the 3.18.21 test + git f2fs, with the same parameters (specifically, -s90), and while it didn't start out to be as slow as 4.2.1, it's similarly slow. After 218GiB, I stopped the test, giving me an average of 50MiB/s. Here is typical dstat output (again, dsk/sde): http://ue.tst.eu/7a40644b3432e2932bdd8c1f6b6fc32d.txt So less read behaviour than with 4.2.1, but also very slow writes. That means the performance drop moves with f2fs, not the kernel version. This is the resulting status: http://ue.tst.eu/6d94e9bfad48a433bbc6f7daeaf5eb38.txt Just for fun I'll start doing a -s64 run. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schm...@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list Linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
