long story short:

23:00:29  >>> arekm is deleting 1.5 mln small (few kb) files on xfs... for last 12 hours
23:00:59 < arekm> server is of course doing other stuff, load ~4
23:05:30 < sandeen> arekm, have fun with that :(
23:05:35 < sandeen> reminds me of my lkml maildir cleanup
23:42:27 < arekm> sandeen: why these operations take soo long? ;((
23:42:52 < arekm> is deleting file so big job for fs? :)
23:42:53 < sandeen> metadata logging hurts
00:46:43 < CoolCold> will lazy-count help?
00:47:21 < sandeen> I don't think it'd help much
01:52:43 < sandeen> larger and/or more logbuffers might help
01:52:46 < sandeen> basically xfs  sucks at this

linux, xfs
