Question on compression unit

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

 



Hi there,

I'm trying to tune compression options for btrfs. Specifically, I want
to know the performance impact on the system under different
compression unit (block) sizes.

I'm aware of '--nodesize' parameter which sets the block size of
metadata tree. Does that also set the block size in an extent? (from
my understanding, file data are mostly stored in extent unless small
enough to be inline-d in metadata leaf node?)

Also from btrfs's wikipedia page:

In compressed extents, individual blocks are not compressed
separately; rather, the compression stream spans the entire extent.

Is that still true?

Thanks,
Xiaochu
