Choosing and Tuning Linux File Systems Finding the right file system for your workload Val Henson val_henson@ With assistance from linux­fsdevel@ Structure of talk ● Understanding your workload ● File system performance basics ● Differences between file systems ● Example workloads and file system choices ● Workload QA ­ describe your workload ● Quick peek at future Linux file system development What is the One True File System? What is the One True File System? ZFS What is the One True File System? ZFS ext3 What is the One True File System? ZFS ext3 chunkfs What is the One True File System? ZFS ext3 chunkfs $ONE_TRUE_FS The Answer The Answer The Answer It depends. Understanding your workload ● What is relevant? ● Size of file system, files, directories, reads, writes ● Pattern of file create/delete, open/close, reads, writes ● Working set of files, data blocks ● Caching ­ application or operating system level? ● What data consistency guarantees do you need? ● Your input here... File system performance basics ● No single best file system ­ workload dependent ● Disk characteristics usually dominate file system performance ● Disks go faster with large, sequential I/Os ● Fixed cost per I/O limits I/Os per second (iops) ● On­disk format determines cold cache performance ● In­memory data structures determine warm cache performance How file systems like to be treated ● Mostly reads ● Large, contiguous I/Os on block boundaries ● Medium sized files (between 4
