> Checkpoint write speed is suboptimal with default 2K page on most UNIX-driven
> enviroments with SSD disk. There are several reasons for this:
> 1) Page size of linux page cache is 4k by default on most kernels (you can
> check yours by "getconf PAGE_SIZE" command). With 2k random writes
> vm.dirty_ratio threshold is reached two times faster than with 4k random
> writes.
> 2) Most SSD manufacturers don't expose actual disk page size, but they
> recommend to write at least 4k at once. Also, 4k blocks are used during
> benchmarking SSD random writes.
> Related question:
> https://superuser.com/questions/1168014/nvme-ssd-why-is-4k-writing-faster-than-reading
> Article by Emmanuel Goossaert describing why writing less than a page is
> сounterproductive:
> http://codecapsule.com/2014/02/12/coding-for-ssds-part-3-pages-blocks-and-the-flash-translation-layer/
> I've prepared a checkpoint emulation benchmark (code and results attached).
> Run on production-level hardware (CentOS, 100 GB RAM, total LFS size is
> 100GB, vm.dirty_ratio=10) showed that checkpointing with 4k pages is much
> more efficient than with 2k.
> *Important: backwards compatibility must be ensured with LFS files created
> with old 2k default page size.*
