They will contain directory structures and files similar to the following configurations; the following are rough estimates from the application vendor. Currently we are looking at GFS2 partitions set up with the default settings; default i386 block size, 8 journals. > It looks like you won't really need to do a lot of tuning, it should be ok on defaults. The only issue is how often the various processes running on different nodes try to access the same data files. Provided its not too often, then everything should be fine, Steve. > Chiliad Raw Data (html/xml) files: > Estimate # of Directories up to 100k > Typical FS Layout: /datastore/chiliad/extract/<form>/<year>/<month>/<day of month>/<bin>/*.html > Number of files in a directory: min=1,000, max=10,000, avg=1,000 > File size: min=1KB, max=2MB, avg=5KB > Directory depth: min=1, max=25, avg=5 > > Chiliad Index files: > Estimate # of Directories: Thousands > Number of files in a directory: min=5, max=30, avg=15-20 > File size: min=1KB, max=2GB, avg=1-2GB > Directory depth: min=1, max=10, avg=5 > > XXXXX:(/root)# gfs2_tool gettune /datastore/ > new_files_directio = 0 > new_files_jdata = 0 > quota_scale = 1.0000 (1, 1) > quotad_secs = 5 > logd_secs = 1 > recoverd_secs = 60 > statfs_quantum = 30 > stall_secs = 600 > quota_cache_secs = 300 > quota_simul_sync = 64 > statfs_slow = 0 > reclaim_limit = 5000 > complain_secs = 10 > max_readahead = 262144 > atime_quantum = 3600 > quota_quantum = 60 > quota_warn_period = 10 > jindex_refresh_secs = 60 > log_flush_secs = 60 > incore_log_blocks = 1024 > demote_secs = 300 > > Thank you, > > Michael Hayes > Red Hat > mhayes@xxxxxxxxxx > > > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
