Hi Jens, our storage driver is the default aufs:
Storage Driver: aufs Root Dir: /var/lib/docker/aufs Backing Filesystem: extfs Dirs: 189 Dirperm1 Supported: false ... based on ext4, also with default option (journaling only on metadata).However, we have a persistent volume for the BaseX database files pointed to a regular folder on the host (ext4). To my understanding the storage driver isn't used in this case.
Is there a recommendation for a basex filesystem? With kind regards, Benedikt Am 26.08.2016 um 22:04 schrieb Jens Erat:
Hi Björn, which Docker storage driver are you using? In my own experiments, I recently realized BaseX does not play very well with copy-on-write, resulting in heavy fragmentation. If you're using BTRFS or ZFS, you should definitely make sure to disable copy on write for the BaseX database when performing frequent updates. I have not verified whether BTRFS' autodefrag option improves this. This is not a Docker issue, but one with the file systems (databases need tuning for those kinds of file systems in general).
