[DEV] data2"XYZ" general filesystem discussion (Updated Dec 20 - Benchmarking)
- Thread starter melethron
- Start date
Just update GMaps and others apps and I did not realize any difference!
i moved to compare
/data/data/com.Peaceman.Benchmark
on the fly to nand and made a symlink to the directory from /data/data/ to the directory in nand
so my database writes got from 6 to 52/s
and overal to 2487 from 2373
but the filewrite overhead is now (with in nand not btrfs) 6.66 ms (from 0.72ms), could that be a reason for lags?

The lower the overhead the better so from what you said nand has a larger overhead. I wonder why the database performance is degraded so much for writes, that imo must be the reason for any lags it is the only time nand does better.
I wonder what version of sqlite android uses because I remember reading something about efficiency improvements in newer versions. I suppose the issue is as usual cross compilation and android may use a modified version of sqlite.

As I said on my post a page ago:
- Oxygen 1.0.3
- 40data2ext4 script
- uSD class 6 "Turbo" ( I dont know what that Turbo mean), 1 fat32 and 1 ext4
- 211 apps.
yes just compared with unjournaled ext2
46 database writes / s
i think there is also some strange thing goin on with this test/benchmark:
shouldn't i get close to SGS (3600) or even more, when i have the test in RAM,
in RAM i get only about 2900

Woow!!!211apps are terrific!
Can you explain me how set it up on sense hd based Rom?

Interesting but way above my head to figure out the cause for the huge database write speed loss.
Just an fyi to my previous post, android uses sqlite 3.6.22, the current sqlite version is 3.7.4 so android is some way behind. I expect there have been performance improvements since 3.6.22 the problem is how to install a newer version and will it break the android sqlite lib? I personally think it might break things otherwise google would have included it in gingerbread I am sure.

i put it in RAM - just to compare, and get only 2900 overall
but 253writes/sec - strange
I didnt tested on any HD sense based ROM but I think should work the same way. All I did was: 1- flashed Oxygen ROM, 2- before reboot (from recovery): 2a- replace my busybox with the new one, 2b- remove A2SD script and replace with 40data2ext4 script, 2c- set permissions, 2d- create the folder /system/data_internal. That`s it! 3- reboot.
I'm a newbie....can you explain and write what commad have you done?
It's required that Rom is only on nand?

In a working data2ext rom if i copy all files from ext partition and then make again the partition formated at btrfs,
add the script with the right permissions and copy back the files to the new btrfs partition will it work?

Most of this was quoted from where everything started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852219
What you need is:
* Rom with init.d script support
* Latest busybox build (http://www.busybox.net/downloads/binaries/)
1.17.2> busybox-arm6l
* Boot your phone in recovery
* Flash your ROM (does not reboot!!!)
* Plug on computer
Connect to your phone with "adb shell"
You should get a ~# prompt now.
#mount /system
#exit
Replace you old busybox exec with the new one. It's located in /system/xbin/
$adb push c:\busybox-armv6l /system/xbin/busybox
Add the script to init.d folder:
$adb push c:\40data2ext4.txt /system/etc/init.d/40data2ext4
back to the shell:
$adb shell
#chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
#chgrp shell /system/xbin/busybox
#chown root /system/xbin/busybox
#chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/40data2ext4
#chgrp shell /system/etc/init.d/40data2ext4
#chown root /system/etc/init.d/40data2ext4
#exit
$adb reboot
Test your self and see if works! Make BACKUPS of EVERYTHING FIRST!!!
Melethron chaged his script today and you dont need to create the data_internal folder any more, the script will create for you!

The overhead would fit to my assumption that the reason the lags are better with btrfs is the filesystem. So its not the ACTUAL write speed to /data/data that matters but it's the difference between ext4 journal and btrfs copy on write.
mattiadj. I said in the thread, i said it in ownheres thread and i said it per PM. Just WAIT a bit for ROMs that have everything ready. Explaining the installation for every user just takes time.
I just fixed the last bug of my ROM and then i upload it...... All you need now is either a second ext4 or btrfs partition. And if you don't have linux you can't make btrfs partition now. So just make an ext partition as for app2sd and wait till i uploaded my ROM.
this could mess up the permission of the files on the external but im not sure....
If you think that's doable then i'll try it and let you know what happened!
I'll take a nandroid first of course just in case, that's why we have it after all.
this works only in an *nix like enviroment
with cp -ap /part1..../* /part2/
you must also preserve the ownerships of files and directories and keep symlinks
cp -ap ... does
