Hi, after using btrfs with 3.7.x and default settings without any problems so far (knock on wood!) I had to redo a 1TB filesystem and this time decided to try two small changes: - raise the leaf size to 16k - use single metadata profile After restoring the contents (~300GB, mix of large and small files) the difference in behaviour on a single disk is *very* noticeable. Therefore I want to suggest changing the default values accordingly. IMHO the new behaviour - maybe including the single metadata redundancy - is much more in line with behaviour that people expect out of the box. I believe many cases where users report degrading performance over time can be attributed to this. Whether single metadata is too much of a risk I cannot judge, but please at least raise the default leaf size. Just my 0.01€ of user feedback :) thanks Holger -- 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
