I find sreadahead interesting, since it loads individual blocks, not entire files. I can test it on SSD quickly if you have a package I can
Huh? What sreadahead do you have?
sreadahead uses readahead with what mincore returns and that's pretty much always the full file.
It uses mincore() to discover which parts of each file are in-core, so it can avoid preloading blocks that weren't needed during the discovery boot. As for how much that is, YMMV, but it helps with files that aren't being read wholesale. -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
