Re: Poor git write performance to NFS
Hi, thank you for your answer. I removed the git Debian package and compiled v2.6.2 manually. The performance is much better now (on the same level als v1.7.12.4). We opened a Debian bug report, to request a git version >= 2.6 to be backported to jessie: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802661 The issue is now solved for us, thanks again for your quick response.

Interestingly, this seems to be a problem in newer git versions: v1.7.12.4: Very good performance v2.1.4: Bad performance, up to 6 times slower Are there any changed default settings or new features that can be the reason for that problem? Please ask for specific details if they are neccessary. Between 1.7.12.x series and v2.1.4, there are more than two years' worth of changes, so it is unreasonable for anybody to expect that such a question can be answered in a meaningful way. Have you tried more recent versions yet? 2.1.x series is over a year old, and I am reasonably sure there have been tons of "earlier we did X for correctness, which unfortunately made things slower, and this ensures the same correctness in a different way that is much more performant" fixes since then. -- Daniel Steinborn Leibniz-Rechenzentrum Boltzmannstraße 1 85748 Garching bei München -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It is good that we must have done something good within the past 12 months between v2.1 and v2.6, even though it feels somewhat unsatisfactory not knowing exactly what that good thing is ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

And 0eeb077 (index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory, 2015-06-09) helps for certain commands, too. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
