A question for those who know more about xfs internals than me: If want to create sparse files that XFS can handle efficiently, is there an optimal minimum sparse chunk size? I can look at an data stream for null segments and make them sparse, but I presume I shouldn't make 1 byte sparse extents. File size will range from small to multiple GB, but large files are the norm. Thanks, John Groves |
