I'd like to revisit this bug and confirm that it occurs on both 32 and 64-bit. When I get back home I'll do some benchmarks to see exactly what kind of speed-hit is occurring. Needless to say, if it's noticeable it must be significant.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: dpkg Installed using the Maverick daily build from 19th July (32 bit) + UPDATE: Confirmed also in release, both 64 and 32 bit Installed using a root partition formatted as BTRFS - Noted that DPKG was noticeably slower and took longer for every - operation than the same system with an ext4 partition. + Noted that DPKG was noticeably slower and took longer for every operation than the same system with an ext4 partition. + UPDATE: ext3, ext2 partitions are roughly the same speed as ext4. Only btrfs is slower. Examples of slowness include: - * apt-get update takes a very long time - * Installing packages takes 2 to 3 times as long as on ext4 - * Particularly unpacking the deb file, this takes the longest + * apt-get update takes a very long time, particularly at the end after downloading the package lists + * Installing packages takes 2 to 3 times as long as on ext4/3/2 + * Particularly unpacking the deb file, this takes the longest. Basically any IO operations are slower. -- DPKG is very slow when using BTRFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607632 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
