This definitely effects performance on 6.x since it makes your
filesystem giant-locked, which may also interfere with your network
processing.
Why would QUOTA affect performance more on 6.x than 4.x ? I would like
to understand because i think a system cannot be secure without QUOTA
It makes filesystem writes acquire Giant, which blocks other kernel
code that needs to also acquire Giant. When the need to acquire Giant
was removed from the mainstream UFS code in 6.0 it was an enormous
performance improvement.
Thanks for your anwser, but i'm not sure i understand... You wrote that
Giant is needed in 6.0 and now you write it has been removed.
So is it removed for 6-STABLE ? 6.1-rc ? Since i already use 6.x boxes,
and i do have performance issues, i would upgrade to the right version
immediatly
