Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] Recommendation about faster (not smaller) filesystem and blocksize combination for portage tree
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:30:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1238412618.18113.15.camel@localhost> (raw)
Hello
I am trying to know what filesystem+blocksize combination could be
better for the kind of files stored in portage tree.
In the past, I have been using reiserfs for my / partition and I
had /usr/portage under it. Later, I moved /usr/portage to a different
partition (distfiles go to a different directory) and switched it to
ext2 (as, in theory, ext2 should be faster as has no journaling) and
2048 as blocksize (that, of course, shrinks portage tree sizes but I am
unsure about its effects from a performance point of view)
Of course, I am not asking you for benchmarks or something else, I am
simply asking for your opinions about what would be better combination
from a performance point of view of filesystem+blocksize (or, at least,
what blocksize would be better for speed, I can test filesystems later
based on it)
Thanks a lot for your recommendations :-)
