Thank you for letting us know the interesting measurement result. Actually we recognize similar issue on high performance drives, but this looks worse than the cases we know. In the 2.6.33 merge window, I sent some series of patches upstream to improve write performance. And, the effort is still going on. I would appreciate it if you could try nilfs in kernel 2.6.33-rc1 or optimization patches that will be appeared ongoingly in this list or linux-nilfs. > And one other question. > Is there a way to disable the auto check point creation ? Unfortunately no. The contiguous check point creation is what nilfs stands for. But, I think the performance impact of cp creation is not so high unless you are doing osync writes. > Cheers > -- > Delian Cheers, Ryusuke Konishi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
