Well, that's pretty much what everybody want to find out. But seems it's not that easy. I'm on Xubuntu 11.10 on 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux on AMD CPU. cat /etc/fstab and cat /proc/mounts give me usual default settings: / ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered Except that I changed relatime to noatime. Though it's almost the same and on desktop it doesn't give noticeable change in disk usage. Block_dump: See message 73 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607560 but overall it's like this: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump Watch results in syslog (note that syslog will frequently write to disk) or by periodically running dmesg. To get more "clean" results - disable kernel logging in syslog, enable block_dump, wait some time or do something in the system, then reenable kernel logging - results of block_dump should appear in syslog. I'm not aware of convenient way to watch it in realtime. to Jan Kara: Enabling ext4_mark_inode_dirty gives me constant flood of events where xfce4-terminal dirties mostly two same inodes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/988896/ Is it expected behavior? This is default terminal in Xubuntu. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
