i recently tried the namei fileserver on solaris8 with ufs logging.
i didnt see any problems with the tests i was doing (which was basically
timing the 'vos move' of a volume from one partition to another -- both
were ufs logging partitions on the same machine)
i was trying to determine performance loss (if any) of going to a namei
fileserver. i know vos dump isnt the best test, but my results were:
it was an ~1G volume with 3000 files (1000 small, 1000 medium, 1000 large)
vicep[ab] was on the same disk (it was an 18G split in half)
'afsinode' afs partitions
% /bin/time vos move user.chas.foo nova a nova b
Volume 536893877 moved from nova /vicepa to nova /vicepb
real 7:42.3
real 7:44.6
real 7:45.0
'namei' afs partitions w/ logging
% /bin/time vos move user.chas.foo nova b nova a
Volume 536893877 moved from nova /vicepb to nova /vicepa
real 10:50.5
real 10:43.0
real 10:48.0
so it does seem that namei is a bit slower. i dont know how this would
affect fileserver performance. i would hazard a guess that it would be
basically the same drop. i really should make the vicep seperate disks.
