Haven't tried 64 and 128 yet, but 256 made ugly ascii error messages on my
screen (generic mount failed message). I'd increased the #buffs to 8 and
the bufsize to 262144, and got failures on mounting. #buffs=8 worked though
and that alone seemed to improve "rm" speed noticably. It's on my
"todo"l list
to try 128 and 64. My memory might be too fragmented, dunno --
computer's memory
too...:-). This was under 2.6.5 kernel. I wouldn't put too much weight
on the problem
until I've done some more testing to narrow it down, but thought I'd
mention it as a data
point. System I tried it on had been up for 15 days...
Total mem=1G with 128M in high mem.
-l
(musing: I wonder if we will need DOS-style disk defragmenters for
memory for
systems with long uptimes and large memory...) :-)
