From bd5437a7d4307a35f2c7cc19cad706ec0e5d61f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:59:56 -0400 Subject: GFS2: speed up delete/unlink performance for large files This patch improves the performance of delete/unlink operations in a GFS2 file system where the files are large by adding a layer of metadata read-ahead for indirect blocks. Mileage will vary, but on my system, deleting an 8.6G file dropped from 22 seconds to about 4.5 seconds.
