I have a journal with about 1million lines in it - going through it page by page is fine, but trying to skip a few hundred thousand lines or search for e.g. /^Mar/ takes ages. Is this normal?
This is a known issue for which there is no optimum solution other than placing the journal in an SSD drive.
The time it takes to search in the journal depends on the fragmentation of the files, the filesystem..etc.. it is even suspected there is a kernel bug that contributes to this, but such bug so far has not been isolated. (afaik greg KH tried with no luck)
Okay, thanks everyone. I don't have a spare disk-slot on this system nor the time to experiment with this, so I'll just have to live with it :-) Not to mention the minimum price for an SSD drive (SAS, 24/7) seem to be about CHF700, and all models unavailable at my supplier :-( -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
