[zfs-discuss] Re: Re: LZO compression?

2007-07-01 Thread roland
this is on linux with zfs-fuse (since no other zfs implementation besides 
zfs-fuse has support for lzo at this time)

btw - here is some additional comparison - now with some real-world data.

copying over some mysql database dir (var/lib/mysql) of size 231M gives:

lzo  | 0m41.152s | 2.31x
lzjb | 0m42.976s | 1.83x
gzip |1m21.637s | 3.26x

i cannot tell if lzo and lzjb performance is really comparable, since 
zfs-fuse/linux may behave very differently to zfs/solaris - but in comparison 
with lzjb, lzo compression seems to give better results overall.

btw: besides opensource lzo there is some closed source lzo professional which 
is even more optimzied. 

maybe sun should think about lzo in zfs - albeit those licensing issues. i`m 
sure that could be resolved somehow, maybe by spending an appropriate amount of 
bucks to mr. oberhumer.

Those are interesting results. 
yes, indeed

Does this mean you've already written lzo support into ZFS? 
no, i`m not a real coder, but there exists an lzo patch for zfs-fuse which 
has also been discussed here, afaik.
not sure if this has already been included in zfs-fuse tree - just wanted to 
check out, but website (http://www.wizy.org/wiki/ZFS_on_FUSE) seems down for 
the moment - if this takes longer to recover (happens often and normally 
doesn`t) maybe i have it left on my system somewhere where i tried zfs-fuse 
with lzo patch and where i did thos performance comparison.

also see:

If not, that would be a great next step
if other performance comparisons give similar results, i really think so.
not sure, if my results are reliable, but at least it`s worth taking a closer 
look, because also eric dillman told, it would perform better than lzjb - at 
least with zfs-fuse.

licensing issues can be sorted out later..
good attitude ! :)

zfs-fuse author/maintainer is Ricardo Correia and the lzo patch was done by 
Eric Dillmann. I can provide contact data if you like.

last number (2.99x) is compression ratio and was much better than lzjb.
not sure if there is some mistake here, i was quite surprised that it was so 
much better than lzjb
