Re: [ldm-users] high memory

I have not, but with the amount of disk we run, we've gone far away from ext3. We have XFS for our NFS partitions, and ext4 for our Gluster. There are a whole lot of problems associated with ext3, in cluding but not limited to how long it takes to do one of its periodic checks when you've exceed the time limit or reboot count.

Has anyone tried mounting ext3 with the data=writeback option (with the risk that active data files could be corrupt after a crash)? I'm wondering how close performance would come to ext2...

The choices for files of this size are ext2 if you don't care about journaling, or XFS. XFS has its own share of problems but does work very well.

We switched off of ext3 for our data partitions for high speed IO. It blows chunks compared to ext2. You loose journaling but I don't care. I don't have long term storage.

Jeff,
If your disk RPM isn't at least 7200, your I/O is going to be bad with Level2/3 feeds. *******************************************************************************
