Just posting this again more neatly formatted and just the 'meat': a) program creates piles of small temporary files, hard links them out to different directories, unlinks the originals. b) filesystem size: ~ 300Gb (backed by hardware RAID5) c) as the filesystem grows (currently about 30% full) the unlink performance becomes horrible. Watching iostat, there's a lot of reading going on as well. Is this expected? Is there anything we can do about it? (short of rewrite Cyrus replication) Thanks, Bron. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
