https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224527 ------- Comment #16 from hpj@novell.com 2007-02-19 16:30 MST ------- It looks like you're right, but I'm not sure the correct fix is to disable fadvise() unconditionally. I see that we're calling it very frequently (once per read plus once per write, or about once for every 4KB transferred). It would be better (and not much harder) to reduce the number of calls to gnome_vfs_forget_cache() in gnome-vfs-xfer.c:copy_file_data(). However, I don't know if the overhead is per-call or per-cache-block, and I don't have an XFS filesystem to test on easily. I've elaborated a patch to test the hypothesis. Could you test it? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
