...th of these problems due to better scalability properties.[/quote] So will ext4 avoid both of these problems just like ReiserFS? Does it use a B+ tree? Or this "dancing B* tree" that Reiser4 is supposed to have? Also: I found that a newly created ext3 partition uses 128 MB whereas a new reiser3 partition uses only 32 MB. I assume that the 128 MB is the space taken for the pre-allocated inodes or such. And I now come to know that others have this problem much more serious on bigger filesystems - [see comment 2 at http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/09/27/suse-102-ditching-reiserfs-as-it-defaul...

I've been playing with ocfs2 in local mode, and was really suprised how fast it was. I was playing with extracting a linux distribution on my hardrive that was tar gzipped (GZIP=-1) and extracting it onto a different hard drive. This was with kernel 2.6.28. ocfs2-5m6s reiser4-4m19s reiser3-6m38 jfs-8m18s ext2-4m7s ext3-7m18s xfs-6m29s ext4m55s I noticed the delete times were very slow with ocfs2, like xfs is if you don't add the extra buffers at mount time. Also when I deleted all the files on the ocfs2 partition, I don't get all the space back. Like maybe a little more tha...

...ame mailbox with tons of changes in multiple connections, which is usually needed to trigger this. I wrote a test program which tests this: http://dovecot.org/tmp/readdir.c I'd like to hear if you can run it in some system without errors. I tested Linux 2.4 and 2.6 with ext2, ext3, xfs and reiser3, Solaris 8/ufs and OpenBSD 3.5/sparc64. Only OpenBSD passed the test, but I'm not sure if it's only because the computer was so slow and didn't switch between processes hard enough. I'd be especially interested about FreeBSD and various NFS systems. If it actually works properl...

Hello, I''m quite interested in ZFS, like everybody else I suppose, and am about to install FBSD with ZFS. On that note, i have a different first question to start with. I personally am a Linux fanboy, and would love to see/use ZFS on linux. I assume that I can use those ZFS disks later with any os that can work/recognizes ZFS correct? e.g. I can install/setup ZFS in FBSD, and later use

Hi, I noticed that `df -i` on btrfs returns zero values, much like it does for vfat and - I think I remember - reiser3. It would be nice if btrfs could count the number of inodes on a volume, to get an overview of just how much dust I am collecting. Is it doable?

Hi all, I have a problem with samba : I can create files, but can't create directories. The server has many shares, on seperated disks. We consider two of them : one 2Tb share and one share with more than 7Tb. Samba configuration is good, and works on many other servers, and on this one except for the large share. Permissions are correctly setted up too. I can read/write files and

Hi! I?m about to migrate a system whith 5000 accounts whith (~ 500GB) from "postfix/courier-imap/maildrop/mysql" to a new hardware whith "postfix/dovecot/dovecot/mysql". I?ll make a separate partition (raid 1) for the mail spool (/var/spool/vmail) and want to now what type of filesystem to use on it to increase performance. I read that XFS is a good choice, but is not

...rmal sized, but there are also some with bigger attachments. For those who are interested here are the results: I used a 53687091200 B image file (via loop device) and tested ext4 only. btrfs is IMHO not yet ready, I have had often issues with XFS (corruptions), reiser4 is more or less dead and reiser3 is said to have issues (see e.g. its wikipedia article, even though it has that mode for small files which would fit nicely). As you see the number of mails increased a bit, cause I tested over several days... but this is only a very small increase so it shouldn't change the numbers a lot....

Hi, Since a --direct-io feature was requested a few times the past decade with little response and the actual patch is quite trivial, I patched both v3.0.9 and master branch and included the patches here. If this functionality is acceptable I don't mind spending the additional effort to update the documentation, etc. Beware that the underlying filesystem needs Direct I/O support,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to mount a drive (single partition) to a nested directory on an existing Samba mount point and have the entire structure considered one drive? The situation is this. I have a large drive mounted to a share called "/pub". This has been identified as my Samba mount point and all works as it should. What I would like to do is

Hi All, We are soon to migrate our mail server from one piece of hardware to another and we would like to take this opportunity to optimize things. As a result, we would like to replace "uw-imapd" and "qpopper" with "dovecot". The version we will be installing is 1.1.13-2, as this is what is available through the latest Debian stable backports. We will also be using
