Re:[Ocfs-users] copying files from ocfs to ext3

["Michael Aubertin"]

Hi David,

It smell like some scsi driver congestion. First of all,
 you can try to set greater value (such 256) to both max and min readahead. 
(see sysctl)
One idea could be to set the elevator to "deadline" or "as" if SAS drive(i.e: Kernel append).
Other could be to mount the ext3 with option such -o  reservation,noatime,nodiratime


Good luck

Michael.

Subject:[Ocfs-users] copying files from ocfs to ext3

Hi, using ocfs-2.4.9-e-smp-1.0.12-1 on Redhat 3 U4

Trying to copy files from an ocfs volume to an ext3 volume is very very slow
- talking a couple of minutes for a 100Mb file.
same happens if I use o-direct or not, dd exhibits the same behaviour

ocfs is in the updatedb.conf and both filesystems are in the PRUNEPATHS line
in the same file (a reboot was done after the changes were made just to make
sure)

Coping from ocfs to ocfs is very quick as is copying from ext3 to ext3

Any ideas where I can look?

Thanks

Dave
