-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Part 2: the RAW Facts on Filesystems Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 22:16:45 -0600 From: "Mike Chambers" <mike@netlyncs.com> Reply-To: enigma-list@redhat.com To: "RedHat - Enigma" <enigma-list@redhat.com> "[...] Once again, the ext3 filesystem is the clear winner for database creation, loading and indexing. And once again the Reiser filesystem came in last, choking on the index builds. As with the AS3AP benchmark results, all the cooked filesystems had roughly the same performance for the transactional portions of the TPC-C benchmark. Even the RAW device scenario with twice the memory allocation could not compete. In fact, the improvement was so slight as to essentially scare me away from RAW devices on any Linux database project for the foreseeable future. Based upon the TPC-C benchmark results, one should choose the ext3 filesystem. In closing, it's very reassuring when multiple, different natured industry standard benchmarks yield similar results. In case you're wondering, I obtained similar results with Benchmark Factory's other half dozen or so database benchmarks. ext3 it is." http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5841 Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY Netlyncs _______________________________________________ enigma-list mailing list enigma-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/enigma-list
