The big problem that I have with non-directio is that buffering delays program execution. When reading/writing files that are many times larger than RAM without directio, it is very apparent that system response drops through the floor- it can take several minutes for an ssh login to prompt for a password. This is true both for UFS and ZFS. R...

In order to get more information on IO performance problems I created the script below: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s #pragma D option flowindent syscall::*write*:entry /pid == $1 && guard++ == 0/ { self -> ts = timestamp; self->traceme = 1; printf("fd: %d", arg0); } fbt::: /self->traceme/ { /* elapsd =timestamp - self -> ts; printf("

...ractically no reads Having database tables on zfs meant launching applications took minutes instead of sub-second. The test configuration I ended up with was: * transaction logs worked well to zfs on SAN with compression (nearly 1 TB of logs) * database tables worked well with ufs directio to multiple SCSI discs on each of 4 hosts (using DB2 database partitioning feature) I refer to DIRECTIO only as this already provides a reasonable set of hints to the OS: * reads and writes need not be cached * write() should not return until data is in non-volatile storage...

This is my still-working-on-it code for btrfs directIO read. I''m posting it so people can see the progress being made on the project and can take an early shot at telling me this is just a bad idea and I''m crazy if they want to, or point out where I made some stupid mistake with btrfs core functions. The code is not complete and *NO...

Hi, Does anybody know whether the ext3 file system support Direct_io? if so, how do you enable it? I went through the man page of mount, and it did not mention such option? my system is running : Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2) Kernel 2.4.21-15.ELsmp on an i686 Thanks much!!!

Does samba 3.0.23c not support the use of O_DIRECT? When I try to open an smbmount'd file using O_DIRECT, I get EINVAL. I am able to use O_DIRECT with no problems on a block device and nfs mounts, so I know the kernel supports it. samba: 3.0.23c kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (32-bit) I am using the below code for my test. smb fails on open(2). #include <fcntl.h> #include

Hi samba experts, We have a strange file locking problem and i hope someone can help. We use some CentOS 5 servers, which use samba 3.0.33, to share files of a java application to clients. Clients are mostly CentOS 5 (same version as the server), but there are a few legacy windows clients (the reason why we use samba and not nfs). And now the problem. When our developer uploads a new jar file to

Hi ZFS Team, I have a couple of questions... Assume that the maximum slab size that ZFS supports is x. (I am assuming there is a maximum.) An application does a (single) write(2) for 2x bytes. Does ZFS/COW guarantee that either all the 2x bytes are persistent or none at all? Consider a case where there is a panic after x bytes has gone to disk and the change propagated to the uber block. Do

Currently I''m trying to figure out the best zfs layout for a thumper wrt. to read AND write performance. I did some simple mkfile 512G tests and found out, that per average ~ 500 MB/s seems to be the maximum on can reach (tried initial default setup, all 46 HDDs as R0, etc.). According to http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/ArchitectureWP_062806.pdf I would

Was there some reason that patch got dropped? Otherwise rsync eats up all the buffer memory. Note -- I tried directio -- didn't work due to alignment issues -- buffers have to be aligned to sectors. The kernel, if I remember correctly, has been on again/off again on requiring alignment on directio -- because most of the drivers and devices do for directio to work, at. "dd" throughput is about 20-30...

Hi, I''m working on some performance analysis with our database and it seems that when the file system (UFS) is mounted with forcedirectio, the IO probe are not triggered when an I/O event occurs. Could you confirm that ? If so, why ? Seb -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

...- Asterisk ip is 10.10.10.2 - SIP user view Asterisk as 10.10.15.2 (Asterisk is behind NAT) When the CCM calls the SIP user the call works perfectly. The problem is that the SIP user receives the call with this uri: <sip:xxx at 10.10.10.2> The call works properly and the audio goes in both directios, BUT if the SIP user does a redial (after the hangup) the call is forwarded to xxx at 10.10.10.2 that is the wrong address. I've tried to force SIP_HEADER(CONTACT) in the dialplan with a Set but it seems that i can't due to security reason. Is it possible to avoid this problem? Thanks...

It is probably not strictly related to SAMBA itself but let me try to ask you for advice. Using smbmount I have mounted one of smb/cifs share to /root/test. This share has RW access and no authentication is required. Now, under DOSBox, whenever I try to mount /root/test I get this error (command sent under DOSBox: mount c /root/test). Directory /root/test doesn't exist. Any other directories,

Hello there, I am using a Gigabyte H55M-UD2H (Intel H55-Chipset) together with a Core-i5-650. According to Gigabyte Support the Mainboard does support VT-d. Well, actually support says, that VT-d does work on Windows-7 in XP-Mode. They do not test and support Linux though. Did anybody here have success using VT-d on any H55-Board? Perhaps it is some misconfiguration on my side. I tried a

I am still having this weird problem with nodes hanging while I'm running OCFS. I'm using OCFS 1.0.9-12 and RHAS 2.1 I've been working on tracking it down and here's what I've got so far: 1. I create a file from node 0. This succeeds; I can /bin/cat the file, append, edit, or whatever. 2. From node 1, I do an operation that accesses the DirNode (e.g. /bin/ls) 3. Node 0
