If there is a single 8GB extent, and then random writes within that extent (seems very database like) grouping the all of the writes in the extent doesn't seem so great. It doesn't cluster any writes in an extent. It only writes out additional dirty pages directly following that one we were asked to write out. As soon as we hit a non-dirty page we give up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
