[ ... ] Dan - I'm really confused by what you're getting at, or trying to get to. It seems as though you think there is a difference in the throughput when you read from a filesystem using st_blksize or some other size close to it, and that you either have or could measure it. Erik is saying that he doesn't believe that you could measure the difference. The only empirical data I have comes from years ago (maybe 8-9 years ago) when I measured this with ext2 and possibly 2 other linux filesystems, and found that the best throughput was obtained using values very, very far removed from st_blksize. This is why ardour tries to write in chunks of 256kB, although in truth it would be better if we measured this again on ext3 and newer FS's, and if possible provided a run-time measurement. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
