Hi Tao > echo 'stats'|debugfs.ocfs2 /dev/sdX|grep "Incompat"
I re-read your reply with the Incompat flag check and it made me think to check what mine were showing. I found that my format with max-features meant that it wasn't using all the available features. Some are probably quite important for performance. mkfs.ocfs2 -T mail --fs-feature-level=max-features /dev/sda debugfs.ocfs2 stats was showing: Feature Compat: 1 BackupSuper Feature Incompat: 272 Sparse ExtendedSlotMap I downloaded the ocfs2-tools via git, instead of the 1.4.1 source file on the ocfs website, and reformatted my partition with the following options (just in case) mkfs.ocfs2 -T mail --fs-feature-level=max-features --fs-features=backup-super,sparse,unwritten,inline-data,noxattr /dev/sda debugfs.ocfs2 stats now shows: Feature Compat: 3 BackupSuper JBD2SuperBlock Feature Incompat: 2384 Sparse ExtendedSlotMap InlineData MetaECC Performance is considerably better when tested with bonnie++ -n 25:1024:0:10, probably because of the inline data. -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- -Create-- --Read--- -Delete-- files:max /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP /sec %CP before 25:1024:0/10 1721 39 +++++ +++ 2655 13 1806 44 +++++ +++ 1995 19 before 50:1024:0/10 1645 62 976 8 1586 11 1469 56 120 1 336 5 after 25:1024:0/10 4015 83 +++++ +++ 3119 12 3872 80 +++++ +++ 1953 13 after 50:1024:0/10 2486 80 99692 100 2737 14 2694 88 83541 98 615 5 Are there any other features im missing that might effect performance? And what does the incompat flags mean? I had mistaken them to mean that these features are available but incompatible with this partition, ie: not used.
