[CentOS] strange speed of mkfs Centos vs. Debian
Hi, I'm testing a storage system and different network settings and I'm faced with a strange phenomen. Doing a mkfs.ext4 on the centos server lasts 11 minutes. The same mkfs.ext4 command on the debian installation is done in 20 seconds. It is formatting a 14 TB 10Gbit ISCSI Target. It is the same server. Centos and debian are installed on different internal harddisks. Any explanations why debian is so f*** fast? Any hint? Regards .

Is it possible that you use a relatively recent debian version compared to the older centos 5/6 versions available? If so you might want to look into the lazy_itable_init option for mkfs.ext4 which is probabaly used in the debian case but not the centos case (but will probably be used in RHEL7).
