If this drive doesn't support tagged-queueing, is the write cache disabled?  I get that sort of performance from a (PATA) disk with the cache disabled (hw.ata.wc=0 in loader.conf) No, just checked -- the hw.ata.wc is set to 1. Is there anything else to look at? According to smartctl, the

Indeed, 55C is way to high for 24/7 usage, and it might be that the   drive is choking on it and barely is able to compensate.. The reads are pretty quick... I'd like to be able to spin it down, but ataidle is broken :-( What does SMART say ? any unusual like high correction rates or

Ask the maintainer to get it [ataidle -mi] fixed, but be warned experience says it might hose your data... The maintainer did not break it. An incompatible change to the API did :) You are, probably, in the best position to show us, how the new API should be used. Now, you say read speed is

Look in smartmontools I provided patches for that, its not rocket   science you know... This attitude -- on top of the API change itself -- is not really encouraging for ISVs, you know :-) You need to find out what the transfer rates are for the RAW disk, ie   by doing a dd from /dev/zero

Hmm, that does sound as problems with that disk, or maybe disk vs   diskcontroller. Any chance you could try the disk on something else ? I'll try... One other thing, how much mem do you have in there ? more than 4G and   bounce buffering might get into the picture ruining the transfer

What about inode file system? (Re: the current status of nullfs, unionfs)

2005-03-11 Thread Mikhail Teterin
A few years ago, there was a project making a filesystem, where a file's name will simply be its inode number. It was intended to save on the name-to-inode lookups of a regular filesystem, for applications like Squid, which keep file names in some sort of a database already. Does anyone know,

Nullfs works better than unionfs. Unionfs worked well in 4.X. What about the `union' option to regular mounts? Is that safe to use? [...] Last I checked, it [mount -ounion -mi] was very broken, but I'm not sure. BTW, how is unionfs different from nullfs with the union option? mount

Hello! The respected manual contain dire warnings, but the Google search suggests, the situation is not *that* gloomy. For example, according to http://kerneltrap.org/node/652 , nullfs was used on Bento-cluster two years ago in 2003. Is anybody working on this file-systems? Any plans,
