Hi, Thanks for the pointer, this feature must have sneaked in under the radar while I wasn't looking - even now googling, reading the man pages etc gives scant information on it - is there any definitive info source for using this? some comments here: http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/Jul-2005/msg00225.html http://www.surfnetters.nl/paul/fs/
seem to indicate variable results with this feature enabled, does anyone have much experience with it in production Samba environments? also how well can it be enabled on pre-existing ext3 partitions? thanks, Duncan On Thu, 2005-10-06 at 00:53 +1000, Josh Kelley wrote: > Duncan Robertson wrote: > > >Also some usage patterns may affect things.. jfs seems to work much > >better than ext3 for reading directories with LOTS of files in it, a > >situation which not uncommon on large samba shares. > > > > > Ext3 now supports a dir_index option now to help with directories > with > lots of files; I don't know how it compares to JFS, but performance > was > at least acceptable when we tried it out. > > >jfs file systems can be grown in place (without unmounting) - but > cannot > >be shrunk. > >jfs you can choose the filename encoding on mount, which can effect > the > >readability of filenames. > > > >ext3 can be grown and shrunk, but you have to unmount them. > > > > > Ext3 now supports online growing as well. > > Josh Kelley > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
