I was restructuring my partition layout on some disk where I had plain R4, and while doing it I deleted some large files. I was suprised how short delete times were. So on cc partition I created incompressable file ( as per Edwards instructions http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=121262617103900&w=2) and: localhost ~ # ls -l /w* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2600005632 Apr 23 10:22 /windows.qcow2 localhost ~ # time rm /windows.qcow2 real 0m0.537s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.456s But when that file is managed with ccreg40 plugin on same partition: localhost ~ # ls -l /w* -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2600005632 Apr 23 10:29 /w.qcow2 localhost ~ # time rm /w.qcow2 real 1m1.523s user 0m0.000s sys 0m17.685s iotop: 2044 be/4 root 16.23 M/s 16.25 M/s ?unavailable? rm /w.qcow2 If I can give any more data feel free to ask Have a nice day Dushan PS. localhost ~ # uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.31-hh #1 SMP Sat Feb 6 17:58:52 CET 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux /dev/md2 / reiser4 noatime 0 0 Partition on Raid1 created with plain mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
