Hi, I recently became aware of commit 507630b2 (use shared ilock mode for direct IO writes by default). I understand that this fixes a regression which can have a notable impact upon MySQL performance. This is of considerable interest to myself because my MySQL servers have to contend with a really tough workload. The patch applies cleanly to 3.4 stable but is it actually safe to use it there? Or does it depend on other changes to XFS, such that I'd be better off holding out for 3.5? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, --Kerin _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
