Subject: [9fans] fun with ken's file server
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 00:33:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d6f0c7c65f1f76588f6ad044312ef25@brasstown.quanstro.net> (raw)
i've got a little afternoon project that requires ken's file server
on a modest little box with low-end intel gigabit but
16gb of memory. this is the first machine i've been
able to really use the amd64 ken kernel with. for
testing, i loaded my active file system. it fits in ram.
using just 1.1 out of the 1.9 million ram blocks.
"check" runs in 119ms. (or less than the time it takes
to ping spain.) check visits every file in the fs. for
normal fs access, it's pretty fast, too.
ladd; cd /386/bin; ls -l gs
--rwxrwxr-x M 688 sys sys 13275174 Jan 16 2006 gs
time output for cat'ing to dev null
0.00u 0.01s 0.36r cat gs # uncached
0.00u 0.01s 0.31r cat gs
0.00u 0.00s 0.18r fatcat gs # uses iounit=6*8k
0.00u 0.00s 0.11r fcp gs /dev/null # 97% wire speed
fatfcp was omitted because it provides no benefit. we're already
at wire speed.

ps. if you're thinking of playing with this, please contact me off
list. there are a few bits not in the atom sources yet.
pps. if you love venti+fossil, don't worry. the usb amd64 installer
appears to be working smoothly.
