thank you this really helped.

i was originally refering to the article posted here:

http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1479435 but I did not see a whole lot of improvement on my system. However, mounting with the logbsize option i managed to get almost a 10 fold improvement in both the delete and random create performance.

I’m running on tests on a 250G SATA drive on an ubuntu 8.02 64-bit server with a 2.6.24-19 kernel.

Note that “noatime” implies “nodiratime”.
