Hi Mark, I tried to benchmark this patch on XFS. In this test, it showed similar result to using ext4: Original MariaDB 5.5 trunk: 62.0 seconds (5 times avg.) Patched MariaDB 5.5 trunk: 32.6 seconds (5 times avg.) BTW, this results are total time of CREATE TABLEs, it is unclear whether any stalls had been happened.

Can anyone provide results for XFS? The ext-2/3/4 variants that I used in the past were prone to stalls from sequential writes.

Hi,
I made a patch to accelerate CREATE TABLE on the innodb plugin. To zero table spaces, I used fallocate instead of normal writes and sync. I compared MariaDB 5.5 trunk and the patched one by our own application, which creates > 1000 tables in series, with ext4 filesystem on Ubuntu 12.04. Results are shown below.
Original MariaDB 5.5 trunk: 64.9 seconds (5 times avg.) Patched MariaDB 5.5 trunk: 36.0 seconds (5 times avg.)
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks, Toshikuni Fukaya
