Q: btrfs and device readahead

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

the recent discussion/fixes re. readahead got me thinking: does btrfs
use/benefit from a device's readahead setting (/sys/block/sdX/queue/read_ahead_kb)
at all or it it completely ignored? Increasing the default from 128k
can have drastic effects on other filesystems, but it's not clear (to me)
whether this setting is ignored/circumvented by btrfs.
I believe (but do not know/understand the details) that this relates
to the implemenation of fs->readpages, which AFAIK is about to be replaced
by a better/common readahead implementation..correct?

Thanks!
Holger
