To follow on from this... When benchmarking debboottrap, I found the 'ssd' option is three times faster than 'nossd'. I'm guessing that this is due to fsync operations causing more rigorous flushing of data to disk when mounted as 'nossd'. Other usecases, like copying a big file, or untar, seem to have comparable speed whichever mount option is used for btrfs. I'll be writing up some more details of my findings soon. -- Tixy _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
