In other runs FreeBSD also seems to trail Ubuntu. Are there any knobs
I could try on FreeBSD?
I think the excellent results Kris got with FreeBSD were significantly
helped by patching postgresql to remove setproctitle().
You don;t need to patch postgresql for that, all you need to do is turn that
off.
update_process_title = off in postgresql.conf and then restart the daemon.
I found the setting and set it to off but no real difference in performance.
from the sysbench line I see this is OLTP benchmark which should mean
a lot of write transactions, and I've consistently seen much better file
system write performance on Linux than on FreeBSD. No tuning can help here.
Yes, that is correct. I wanted to conduct a r/w test. But if it's down
to the fs itself I will just leave it atm. I will probably deploy the
server on FreeBSD anyway since we probably won't reach that many
writes in the foreseable future and FreeBSD is what I do best.
Will zfs be able to achieve better performance? I guess that ufs2 will
remain more or less in the state it is in now.
I went through this in detail in a thread on -stable recently (Subject:
Performance!). Rather than me going over all of this again, can you
please read that thread in detail and get back to me once you have
applied all of the discussion there to your case.
