Hello, this morning I observed that putting foreman git repo onto tmpfs folder (e.g. /tmp/foreman) greatly reduces testing time by more than 50 % !
Running it from my checkout folder (Samsung SSD - 2014 edition): real 27m24.425s user 12m25.875s sys 0m27.050s And now from tmpfs: real 12m21.645s user 9m59.112s sys 0m9.877s I don't know if it's just the db/ directory or we do some temp files during tests, but before I investigate this further, I'd like someone to try this out and compare the numbers. I could made a mistake. If I had to guess, I think sqlite does some filesystem sync operations which are just noops on tmpfs (it's memory or swap right). This would be great benefit on our Jenkins assuming there is tmpfs available. I guess so (RHEL6+ has it). We do start always from scratch there, so mounting/symlinking db/ should be relatively easy to do. And I currently have about 35 MB in db/ folder, nothing that should kill the runner. -- Later, Lukas #lzap Zapletal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
