At WaikatoUniversity, they are installing an OnlineBackupSolution with machines with 800G of [RAID] storage. This storage is partitioned into one large partition since we need to be able to use hardlinking. So the question became, which file systems will work and how well on a partition like this?
We first of all tried [Ext3], a reasonable basic choice. We discovered that [Ext3] took about 200 minutes to do a backup. This was clearly not very acceptable. We tried tweaking [Ext3] extending the journal size to the maximum. No percievable change. Looking at the machine it was using 100% System CPU, however no process was in the D state. Oh well.
