I've been playing with ocfs2 in local mode, and was really suprised how fast it was. I was playing with extracting a linux distribution on my hardrive that was tar gzipped (GZIP=-1) and extracting it onto a different hard drive. This was with kernel 2.6.28. ocfs2-5m6s reiser4-4m19s reiser3-6m38 jfs-8m18s ext2-4m7s ext3-7m18s xfs-6m29s ext4m55s
I noticed the delete times were very slow with ocfs2, like xfs is if you don't add the extra buffers at mount time. Also when I deleted all the files on the ocfs2 partition, I don't get all the space back. Like maybe a little more than a gig is showing used, but no files. but here's the weird part. I only got the good speed with ocfs2 on the first write. If I deleted all the files on that partition, then extracted the tar file again, the time went up to 8 minutes. I deleted them all again, then unmounted and fsck'ed the partition, then mounted and extracted the tarfile for the third time, and it took 19 minutes. hope this may help a little. _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
