However the performance of the filesystem 250 MByte/sec is much worth compared to the raw lvm volume which is 400 MByte/sec. A local ADIC cvfs filesystem delivers 375 MByte/sec on the same disks. I'm trying to get you and David Chatterton into a new thread discussing this soon, see one of my following mails. Thanks so far.

Depends on where you got your xfs code, I guess - I think it should be in cvs at least. > I'm running on a 32 bit machine that's why I can't use idnode64 right? > My machine currently shows me isize=256. > Am I right that mkfs -t xfs -i size=512 would double the inode size? That's right - doubling the size of the inode will double the size of the fs that can keep inodes under 32 bits. -Eric > I'll give this a try tomorrow then. > Thanks > Thomas
