The difference between using our idle cpu cycles for [EMAIL PROTECTED] or just leaving the xeons and opterons idle when they're not crunching away is around $1300 a month (yes, I know it's a big datacenter) slightly more than half that, is the cooling used to remove the heat generated by the machines. the rest is the machines themselves. Those guys want maximum cycles per watt. One way of getting there is using less watts when we don't use all cycles. This bring down power consumption, which directly brings down heat production, which brings down A/C needs. Why pay for power you don't need to use. Why pay for a ups thats bigger then it has to be. Why pay for more hvac then you need. Even now an idle rack of dual opterons 244s is something like 4-5kw, busy is more like 6.8-8kw.

Re: ext2/3 files per directory limits
On Wed, 23 Feb 2005, Ron Peterson wrote: I would like to better understand ext2/3's performance characteristics. I'm specifically interested in how ext2/3 will handle a /var/spool/mail directory w/ ~6000 mbox format inboxes, handling approx 1GB delivered as 75,000 messages daily. Virtually all access is via imap, w/ approx ~1000 imapd processes running during peak load. Local delivery is via procmail, which by default uses both kernel-supported locking calls and .lock files. At some point it makes sense to subdivide you mail load because serialization of i/o on that one filesystem becomes a bigger issue than the performance of your filesystem... We deliver into mbox formatted mailboxes inside users homedirs, some folks do a similar thing with maildir. In the end you can on make one filesystem so fast. beyond that you need more filesystems to acheive any kind of reasonable scaling... I understand that various tuning parameters will have an impact, e.g. putting the journal on a separate device, setting the noatime mount option, etc. I also understand that there are other mailbox formats and other strategies for locating mail spools (e.g. in user's home directories). I'm interested in people's thoughts on these issues, but I'm mostly interested in whether or not the scenario I described falls within ext2/3's designed capabilities.

Re: reiserfs, xfs, ext2, ext3
I have a proxy server that's been running 2.4.3pre4 with reiserfs for the partitions on the cache disks. it has an uptime of 43 days at this point. it wasn't very stable at all (two crashes in one week) with 2.4.2. I'll be building 2.4.4 something when I get back from ghana to the US, but I don't want to reboot it onto a fresh kernel while I'm 11,000 miles away, serial console notwithstanding. Overall I'm of the belief that reiserfs is robust enough for mainstream use, and it's significantly faster than ext2 for the squid box, you do as usal need to be a bit selective about what kernel you choose to run.
