Subject: Ext4 without a journal: some benchmark results
Hi:
I promised back in mid-December to send out some benchmark numbers I'm
seeing with Frank Mayhar's work to allow ext4 to run without a journal. My
apologies for the delay...
I ran both iozone and compilebench on the following filesystems, using a
2.6.26-based kernel, with most ext4 patches applied. This is on a x86 based
4-core system, with a separate disk for these runs.
ext2, default create/mount options
ext3, default create/mount options
ext4, default create/mount options
ext4, created with "-O ^has_journal"
For each filesystem, I ran each benchmark twice, doing a mke2fs before each
run. The same disk was used for each run; all benchmarks ran in the mount
directory of the newly mkfs'ed disk. I averaged the values for the two runs
for each FS/thread number.
Iozone was run with the following command line:
iozone -t (# threads) -s 2g -r 256k -I -T -i0 -i1 -i2
I.e., throughput mode; 2GiB file; 256KiB buffer; O_DIRECT. Tests were
limited to
write/rewrite
read/re-read
random-read/write
I ran iozone twice for each FS: with a single thread (-t 1) and with 8
threads (-t 8).
Compilebench was run with the following command line:
compilebench -D (mount dir) -i 10 -r 30
I.e., 10 kernel trees, 30 "random operation" runs.
Results follow.
Thanks,
Curt
