Hi,
Just back from a weeks vacation, slogging through my email backlog, I notice
a fair demand for a 2.4.4 xfs patch out there, and that people are using the
development tree.
Looking at what happened to kiobufs in 2.4.4, I think we are going to have to
make some changes in XFS, we are using them as a simple page container
object, and they got a lot more expensive to use. I suspect the memory
used to do anything serious with XFS shot up in the 2.4.4 tree, this
may explain 'sluggish behavior'. Hopefully I can come up with a fix
in the next few days, but management has seen fit to book me up with
several long meetings this week.
So in the meantime, take XFS on 2.4.4 with a pinch of salt, it will change
in the near future.
Steve
