I´ve done some performance tests on a HEAD system from a few days before the
change, and just after.
A ~100GB tar file was extracted to a local HAMMER file system, and a cpdup copy
of the files was made,
result was traversed with find.
After updating system, to include HAMMER & cpdup changes of June 20th, same
thing was done again.
Unpacking and cpdup´ing was slower after updating, but find was faster.
Also after updating traversing cpdup copies was faster for copies made before
update.
This wasn´t what I expected from the description of the changes, any comments?
During tar file extraction after updating system, I noticed, looking at 'hammer
iostats 10',
that inode-ops, file-rd & file-wr stalled for long periods of time, like 1-2
minutes;
dev-read & dev-write was still high; after stall inode-ops would rocket up, but
only for half a minute,
then a new stall started. During stall, it seemed all file system operations
was also stalled,
including processes that I only can imagine was using NFS (but this can't be
true I guess).
Test system is atom 330 (dual core 1,6GHz), physmem=512MB
running SMP on local SATA disk using nata(4) (no ahci(4) support for onboard
disk controller).
(system does have 2GB RAM, physmem limited to get smaller core dumps;
on other tests I´ve done, this didn´t seemed to make any difference)
Tar file used contains contains many smaller files (cvs repos for most BSDs &
some checkouts for each),
and a good number of big files (e.g. ISOs & pictures).
I could make some more tests, but would like to use a smaller test set;
for now 100GB is too time consuming on my HW.
Any recommendations on test set size vs physmem size.
I could also test on ahci(4) or sili(4) (on other host).
