Does FreeBSD have fallocate(2) or equivalent?

When I use the preallocate patch and create a 77GB file using the function I get a CPU spike on the server-side. The spike lasts about 20 minutes and uses about 20%-25% of the cpu associated with the rsync instance creating the file. The spike is directly linked to the time it takes to create the file. I compiled rsync using cygwin CVS. I initially suspected the implementation of

fallocate() is linux specific and will preallocate the space on disk for the entire file. FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE does not change the filesize as reported by stat(). An aborted transfer will have preallocated disk space which is not "visible" via stat(). This shouldn't matter unless the user does complet his transfer. An alternative would be to use ftruncate() and shorten the file to the

Frank, Please find comments in-line below... All, Note that I''ll be off-line for some doctor''s appointments part of the day Friday and will be out of the country for a week starting Saturday. So, I may be very slow responding to issues raised here for a while. Cheers, Don >Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 19:41:53 +0100 (BST) >From: Frank Hofmann <Frank.Hofmann at

Hi All I was reading through this: http://kashyapc.com/2011/12/02/little-more-disk-io-perf-improvement-with-fallocateing-a-qcow2-disk/ I was basically searching for pointers on improving disk I/O. I wanted to know the purpose of preallocation=full & preallocation=metadata , What is the difference between them ? and which one would yield a better disk I/O speed ? Appreciate your

The above test can now be done in a single command -- see option (3)

In glibc 2.10 (32 bit) fallocate() exists but fallocate64() doesn't. When _FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64, fallocate() is a redirect to fallocate64() and the program can't be linked (fails to find symbol fallocate64). See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/500487 Attached patch detects fallocate() more robustly to guard against this problem. Cheers, Paul. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

(each a few hundred Mb) onto different Samba shares. From a W2000 workstation, started another copy of similar directory onto another Samba share. Everything runs fine for 5-10 minutes, then one of the NT4 copies hangs with "Unable to copy file ... Session cancelled" or "Unexpected network error occurred". Typically one or other of the other NT4 copies also then fails. The

On RHEL 7.5 we need to include <linux/falloc.h> for FALLOC_FL_* macros. Without the macros, fallocate is never used and we fall back to manual zeroing. Here are examples runs with this change with a local file on ext4: $ export SOCK=/tmp/nbd.sock $ export FILE=/var/tmp/nbd.img $ export BLOCK=/dev/loop2 $ src/nbdkit -f plugins/file/.libs/nbdkit-file-plugin.so file=$FILE -U $SOCK $ time

Hello everyone. This is the support for default single-device configuration. Subvolumes are _allowed_. Transparent compression is not allowed. Leafsize != 4K is not allowed. Nodesize != 4K is not allowed. Grub-0.97+btrfs doesn''t understand exotic things like preallocated extents (e.g. files composed by fallocate(2), posix_fallocate(3)). Also grub-0.97 doesn''t check btrfs

The original plan was to have a background thread doing the reclaim. However that cannot work given the design of filters, because a background thread cannot access the next_ops struct which is only available during requests. Therefore we spread the work over the request threads. Each blk_* function checks whether there is work to do, and if there is will reclaim up to two blocks from the cache

Hello Ivan, 'FastCopy' has an option to revise max I/O size and works for SMB :) it is a tool for file transferring and could be installed to win10, download here: https://fastcopy.jp/ This is an example for writing, a job would write a file named '1GB.img' from a local disk 'H:' to a remote SMB mounted net disk 'Z:', open 'FastCopy' tool and specify
