Hi Tao
> echo 'stats'|debugfs.ocfs2 /dev/sdX|grep "Incompat"
I re-read your reply with the Incompat flag check and it made me think to
check what mine were showing.
I found that my format with max-features meant that it wasn't using all the
available features.
Some are probably quite important for performance.
mkfs.ocfs2 -T mail --fs-feature-level=max-features /dev/sda
debugfs.ocfs2 stats was showing:
Feature Compat: 1 BackupSuper
Feature Incompat: 272 Sparse ExtendedSlotMap
I downloaded the ocfs2-tools via git, instead of the 1.4.1 source file on
the ocfs website, and reformatted my partition with the following options
(just in case)
mkfs.ocfs2 -T mail --fs-feature-level=max-features
--fs-features=backup-super,sparse,unwritten,inline-data,noxattr /dev/sda
debugfs.ocfs2 stats now shows:
Feature Compat: 3 BackupSuper JBD2SuperBlock
Feature Incompat: 2384 Sparse ExtendedSlotMap InlineData MetaECC
Performance is considerably better when tested with bonnie++ -n
25:1024:0:10, probably because of the inline data.

Are there any other features im missing that might effect performance?
And what does the incompat flags mean?
I had mistaken them to mean that these features are available but
incompatible with this partition, ie: not used.
