fsync: Linux vs FreeBSD

2010-10-26 Thread Marc G. Fournier
Someone recently posted on one of the PostgreSQL Blogs concerning fsync on Linux/Windows/Mac OS X, but failed to make any comments on any of the BSDs ... the post has to do with how fsync works on the various OSs, and am curious as to whether or not this is something that also afflicts us:

/usr/src : zfs with compression enabled /usr/src : 386.3MB/s Do I understand it well? It seems that zfs with compression enabled on /usr/src with 8KB block size and 16 threads performs 386.3MB/s which is about 6 times better than debian5? I am thinking about this image
