[Ocfs2-users] Ocfs2 slowdowns, high amount of reads during writes

[Andy]

I previously wrote about slowdowns during writing and deleting files at 
the same time on an OCFS2 volume.  I've tried writeback, and it still 
slows down a lot.

I have also been doing some testings on a 2TB ocfs2 volume on a SSD.  I 
was wondering how much better it would perform on an SSD. Unfortunately, 
I have run into an issue on the SSD, where ocfs2 ends up doing a whole 
ton of reads from the volume, and never gets much of a chance to write. 
  This happens when I access the volume from 2 systems at the same time. 
  My test scripts just use dd to write various sized files to various 
directories.  Why would ocfs2 start doing a whole bunch of reads?

Thanks,

Andy
