You're quite correct, the phase in which the throughput goes very low is open()ing all the files - there's little I've been able to do to speed that up.
The current proposal is to drop the requirement to do that by adding a kernel syscall that lets us populate the page cache by inode number, rather than file handle ** Changed in: ureadahead (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ureadahead (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - throughput goes very low after a first peak + open()ing files takes a long time with low throughput -- open()ing files takes a long time with low throughput https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
