Very low performance
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi!
ext4fuse under freebsd 10 works good, but something wrong with IO performance
Here i wanna show you one test:
$ dd if=/mnt/lin1/home/user/Video/video.mkv of=/dev/null
^C326488+0 records in
326488+0 records out
167161856 bytes transferred in 35.129953 secs (4758385 bytes/sec)
So, we have 4.7 mb/s. And i know, its not HDD problem. When i am watching FullHD video (mplayer or mpv) from this ext4 partition I must use -cache option to prevent lagging.
Do you have any ideas? ext4fuse was installed from ports
Thank you.
Hi,
Unfortunately, that's how it is. I wrote ext4fuse to be as simple as possible and tried to prioritize correct code. I think there's plenty of room for improvement on the performance department, but I currently do not have any personal use for the project which means that I don't feel comfortable doing any change that is not a bugfix (I know the low performance can be seen as a bug, but I hope you know what I mean).
Of course, if you want to take the work, feel free to send pull requests.
BR,
Gerard.
Thank you for your response!
ext2fs.ko native driver for FreeBSD is coming better and better, it supports ex2/ext3 r/w and sometimes ext4 r/o, so, it seems like here is no reason to write patch/improvements for ext4fuse driver - its better to wait instead.
Anyway, thank you for developing such good project =)
Best wishes,
