One more thing. When I straced one of the application processes (these are the processes that create the files) I saw this:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------- ---------- ---------- -------- ------ ------- 68.94 3.002017 111 27154 open 18.93 0.929679 2 418108 read 12.40 0.543714 2 257548 write So it seams that inode creation is the biggest time consumer by far. _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
