FYI, it is only soft updates (really bufdaemon, through which all the I/O passes) that has performance problems under high load on 6.x compared to 4.x. Other mount modes perform quite a bit better (e.g. 30% faster for async write performance) than 4.x on the hardware I tested. http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/bsdcan/Filesystem%20Performance.pdf Kris P.S. Don't link to the above URL, I need to send it to Dan for publication on the BSDCan site, to which you should link instead. --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD4DBQFEcK4fWry0BWjoQKURAhviAJsHUll9QnGOvq7d6kTebr3aQz8z9QCYsitn OACSo5NllCs4WU+EsX3faw== =QhC5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7--
