Let me guess: journal on a normal (non-ssd) disk?
Obviously it is not designed for such outdated hardware ;-) The file fragmentation of the journal files and the performance of the "database" is absolutely totally horrible. It gets slightly better once you dedicate a fast SSD to the journal ;)
Bad programming, IMHO.
Really? Patches are always gladly accepted upstream for this, and numerous people have looked at it to try to firstly determine what exactly the problem is, and no one has been able to figure that out. Including the fact that most of us who have looked at it, can't even duplicate the issue at all (myself included.)
So, don't just wave it all away like this, it's a non-trivial problem for a small number of systems that people are not ignoring...
Yes probably the design is more bad than the actual implementation.
Anyway, it was very easily predictable that we would get problems like this. All I complain about is that we (the users/admins) get such young, untested, unstable, broken stuff per default.
Yes, we all write crappy software and have no idea what we are doing and should listen to everyone who tells us to stop because they are the ones who know best. Give me a break.
There is already a distribution (Fedora) which is testing all this alpha software. They have never cared about compatibility or the upgrade scenario - that's ok because you know that. Why openSUSE does not just wait until at least one distribution exists where all this funny freedesktop stuff works as it's supposed too work?
It works just fine for me here, on three other distros who have been shipping it for a long time (Fedora and Arch and Gentoo). If you really hate this type of thing, and don't want progress, there's always Slackware. As it is, openSUSE is already playing catch-up with those distros, how far behind do you want to see us be? greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
