Hi,

I have been trying to gauge file systems performance on flash device
for one of my projects.

I already have numbers for ext2 and ext4 , both of them doing pretty
good for sequential IOs, but horrible when it comes to random ones.
Now I am trying to look into NILFS to figure out what performance they
can give for random IOs.

I downloaded open source software from nilfs.org. Once I start
running my fio tests the kernel crashes. And presumably this happens
when cleaner demon tries to clean the snapshots, to make space in the
device.

Has anybody seen similar problems ?

I am able to get some numbers for sequential IOs, keeping device size
as small as 12g.
(though device spans 240g) .But w/ similar device size of 12g for
randowm write, kernel crashes almost when the test is ~20% complete.
I have also tried to update cleanerd.conf so that snapshots cleaning
is held longer, but am not able to avert it for the duration of random
write is preety long.

I would highly appreciate inputs.

Thanks
Amrita
