Hi all, While testing out filtering scripts for Postfix I discovered that file deletion, at least in this particular circumstance, is quite slow with JFS on kernel 2.4.25. The same situation yields much faster results with kernel 2.6.3 on my desktop box (also running JFS).
Anyway, the problem lies with: #!/bin/sh for i in `seq 1 1000` do echo hi > foo.$i rm foo.$i done This takes about 13-14 seconds consistently on 2.4.25. On 2.6.3 it's around 1 second. 2.4 is on a hardware RAID1 with two 10K SCSI drives and 2.6.3 is a single ATA100 IDE drive. If I create a loopback ext2 filesystem on the 2.4 box and run the test, it takes ~1.2 seconds. I'm just wondering if this is a known issue, and if it can be fixed in 2.4. If not, I'll have to think about converting to 2.6; I needed a good reason anyway.. :) Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
