I think much could be achieved if the following was true. get a response to file system meta data operations (opendir, readdir, stat, mkdir, unlink) within 200 ms even under heavy read/write strain ... In the course of my research I also tried the io-controller patches. My test setup consists of several tar processes keeping a disk busy by packing and unpacking Linux kernels. I was able to bring read and write bandwidth into balance by putting the reading and writing tars in to different cgroups. Unfortunately this did not seem to help my goal since meta data operations do not seem to get treated differently from normal operations (or maybe even worse?) Is there a way to get io-controller to help me with this? cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch tobi@...iker.ch ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
