hi there.
i just made a 75GB XFS partition using the default values etc. but now i
read that a larger logfile will result in increased performance. i tried
to find out the logfile size that mkfs.xfs gave me but the output from
+[~]: cat /proc/fs/xfs/stat
...
log 3060 9516 0 15807 4
...
remains a mystery to me. since i can change the logfile size with
xfs_growfs i'd really like to optimize it as much as possible. this is a
p133/96mb box running xfs 1.01/2.4.13 that mostly serves 10mb+ files
through samba 2.2.2 and also processes some of them from time to time.
what is the tradeoff for a larger logfile size? more memory usage? more
cpu usage?
thx
!thomas
