Patch Name: PHKL_23084 Patch Description: s700 10.20 VxFS perf enhancement & fixing a system hang Creation Date: 01/01/04 Post Date: 01/01/05 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: JournalFS.VXFS-BASE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHKL_23084: HANG Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_23084 Symptoms: PHKL_23084: (SR: 8606170112 CR: JAGad39375) System hangs while accessing the tail of a VxFS file of size greater than 2GB. PHKL_19058: ( SR: 1653303750 CR: JAGab16358 ) Creating a large number of files (such as > 4k) in a directory on a vxfs file system can take an unacceptably long time to complete, especially when compared to HP-UX 11.00. Defect Description: PHKL_23084: (SR: 8606170112 CR: JAGad39375) The function supposed to return the details of the extents of the file was returning HOLEs past the 2GB mark which caused the process to loop forever. Resolution: Return correct details of the extents past the 2GB mark from the function mapping the extents of a file. PHKL_19058: ( SR: 1653303750 CR: JAGab16358 ) On 10.20, VxFS 3.0 uses extents of size 1K blocks once the directory started to use indirect extents; i.e. once the directory became larger. For 11.00 and VxFS 3.1, extents of size 8K are used. Thus, on 10.20, there were 8 times the number of extents to manage as with 11.00. Resolution: A change has been made to allow 10.20 to also use the larger extent size, and thus improve performance.
