I've just had very poor performance on BTRFS filesystems mounted with the "discard" option using a 120G Intel SSD known as "INTEL SSDSC2CT12 300i". Turning off the discard option at the suggestion of a member of the BTRFS list improved performance by more than a factor of 8! Apparently the problem is that TRIM is a non-queuing command so it blocks everything else. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
