hi,,
i'm new to xfs ..i want to know the performance details of xfs..
how much time it will take to write /read ...can anyone done this on ARM processor...the block size is 2^n only in xfs ..but for video streaming the incoming packet is 188 bytes .the sector size is 512 ...so the i/o buffer size is 188*512 ...how can we do this in xfs....cany anyone send the xfs performance details..
thanx!

In general (no experience or suggestions for ARM processors), for video streaming:
- preallocate space for the files when writing, see xfsctl(3) and XFS_IOC_RESVSP
- use direct I/O, the larger the better. ie a MB or more at a time,
but at least ensure the direct I/O requests are aligned on page or
filesystem block boundaries, whichever is larger
- use asynchronous I/O or multiple threads to keep the disks busy

It sounds like you have a very specific environment that would be best
tested and evaluated by... you :)
Yes, the blocksizes are powers of two, but of course you can do any
arbitrary sized write, if that's what you're asking.
