Has anyone here, who uses XFS fs, experiencing slow filesystem writes? I'm seeing throughput of like 4-3MB/s instead of like previously 15-20MB/s. I have read that there was some thing about "barriers" and I've tried re-mounting the FS w/ "nobarriers" but the performance didn't improve.
I've already fscked the fs w/ the latest xfsprogs (> 2.8.0) to no good effect. Anyone has any clue or suggestions? Else, I'm gonna go and change the FS back to EXT3. BTW: it's my /home which is XFS which houses GIGs of Mbox files as well as VMware images. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
