over on #ardour last week, we saw appalling performance from reiserfs. a 120GB filesystem with 11GB of space failed to be able to deliver enough read/write speed to keep up with a 16 track session. When the filesystem was cleared to provide 36GB of space, things improved. The actual recording takes place using writes of 256kB, and no more than a few hundred MB was being written during the failed tests. everything i read about reiser suggests it is unsuitable for audio work: it is optimized around the common case of filesystems with many small files. the filesystems where we record audio is typically filled with a relatively small number of very, very large files. --p - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
