-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Searching in the ext3 filesystem mailing list I have seen that there is an indexed directory extension for it. Is this extension stable code ? Has anyone test it ? How may I obtain and install it ? Is it available in any of the last kernel releases ? Greetings. - --- Carles Xavier Munyoz Baldó carles@descom.es Descom Consulting Telf: +34

Just out of curiosity: Is htree in 2.6.0-test11 ? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V a) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Gemeinsame Einrichtung von FU- und HU-Berlin Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 Referat V a - Kommunikationsnetze - AIM. ralfpostfix

I decided that I would try out 2.5.44, and I noticed that htree was merged. If I don't do the tune2fs -O dir_index, and e2fsck -D, the (exisintg) fs won't use htree, right? Once I do the tune2fs and e2fsck, will I still be able to go back to a non-htree kernel if needed? (Will a htree-ized fs work on a non-htree kernel?) I'm guessing that it won't. I've seen a 2.4 htree

Apologies for the newbie question: I have a (stock) 2.4.20 build (*not* -ac), and I'm trying to work with large ext3 directories. By large, I mean 160,000 files per directory. (Yes, I know it would be better in nested directories but such is life). I feel htree would benefit me. Having upgraded from an earlier version of 2.4, I don't see any change, and close reading of the 2.4 changelog

Guys, I have recently applied the latest 2.4 htree patch on a heavily loaded nfs server. The nfs server serves around four very busy clients that deliver email in maildir format and pop3/imap clients. Being maildir I presumed that the htree patch would improve performance - but I was wrong. Load on the server went up by around 25-40%. After 3-4 hours of heavy use the clients load went up to

Well here is what I got from testing htree with NFS. http://labs.zianet.com/benchmarks_html/postmark_benchmarks_NFS_100_htree.html It looks like htree improves performance when the storage device is local(as per my previous post) but it looks like htree degrades performance when used in conjunction with NFS. I am going to try it with gigabit ethernet when I get the time to see if maybe I am

I've backported all of the bugfixes to the 2.5 dxdir/htree patches to 2.4, and have created a new set of patches for Linux 2.4.21rc5. At this point it *looks* like we've fixed all of the htree bugs that people have reported, including the brelse bug, the memory leak bugs, and the NFS compatibility problems. I've done *very* light testing, and things seem to work, but I'm now

hi, i have a tricky situation here and and don't know where to start with the solution. i happened to set up a linux system, but i had to install the base system on another machine. i used e2fsprogs 1.30-WIP (30-Sep-2002) for this. now the machine is up and running, but i have to use e2fsprogs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002). it's a debian system and i wanted to stay sane & stable, hence using

Hello, Could someone create some newer htree patches for the 2.4.x kernel? There are some bug fixes in the 2.4.21-rc releases that would be nice to have but the htree patches preceed those and they won't apply cleanly to later pre/rc kernels. It sounds like Marcelo may be about ready to put out 2.4.21 so it may just be worth holding off until that happens, but I don't suspect much will

There's a new set of ext2/3 patches for 2.4.21-pre5 available at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/extfs-update-2.4.21pre5-2 and in broken out form at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/broken-out-2.4.21pre5-2 New to this patch set include: * A kludge to help htree work well with Linux's NFS implementation * Allow the orlov allocator to be disabled via a

I have just been thru rebuilding a server that had been suffering severe performance problems. I transferred the partitions to another hard drive, copying into freshly formatted filesystems. This made a HUGE difference in performance. One key directory structure stores email messages in an structure where there is a directory for each mail account, and the messages are stored in

Hi, Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is interested. Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files - although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though). The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then removed in the same manner as

Hello, I am using kernel version 2.4.7-10 I upgraded one of the ext2 partition to ext3. the partitions are nearly empty. I ran a program to create empty files, having names in lexicographical order. The time taken to create empty files (100 .. 100000) is same on an ext2 partition and a ext3 partition. Can anyone pls. tell me why there is no difference in the time taken. Is the htree algo.

I have been running a public MySQL server for over 4 years. The system was a 1GHz box with 256MB of RAM. MySQL puts each database into a seperate directory in a single "data" directory. Once the old system reached about 10K databases the connection times increased 10X or more. I attributed the speed problems to a possible filesystem limitation with a large number of files. That
