Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a new software raid with four 3TB disks. So far I'm doing the tests using also bcache on a 60GB partition on a 120GB SSD. Everything is protected by a UPS. On the software side: self compiled kernel 3.5.1 and util-linux 2.20.1 Thus far, ext4 is doing really really well but for one thing, the mount time. At the moment I'm testing a RAID5 which makes the partition 8.2TB. ext4 takes: $ time mount /mnt/raid 0.00s user 79.49s system 92% cpu 1:26.25 total xfs, OTOH, is way faster: time mount /mnt/raid 0.00s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 1.869 total I'v tried everything I could think of but the mount time remains constant. Is there anything I can do to speed up the mount time? -- Javier Marcet <jmarcet@xxxxxxxxx> -- 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
