Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.15’s exFAT file deletion performance&nbsp;boosted</strong></p><p>A recent development in the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has been spotted, because there was a big improvement to the exFAT file system implementation in relation to how it deletes the files when the “<code>discard</code>” mount option is used. This improvement significantly saves time as a test file after the merge has been deleted in 1.6 seconds, compared to more than 4 minutes of the total time taken.</p><p><a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKYAXd_E0eM8dfoU1HVQ+DW4YKMsrzfJbGTsQELjfy=R+omndw@mail.gmail.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This pull request</a> makes sure that, upon file deletion, it discards a group of contiguous clusters (that is, clusters that are next to each other) in batch instead of discarding them one by one. This was because in prior kernels, such as 6.14, “if the discard mount option is enabled, the file’s clusters are discarded when they are freed. Discarding clusters one by one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.”</p><p>The change has been introduced in commit <a href="https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/exfat.git/commit/?h=dev&amp;id=a36e0ab44cb344728f7c0fdc34edcbae64739c16" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a36e0ab</a>. Since then, the pull request has been merged to the kernel and it will be integrated to the first release candidate of Linux 6.15. A simple performance benchmark has been verified with the following commands:</p><pre><code># truncate -s 80G /mnt/file# time rm /mnt/file</code></pre><p>In detail, the performance of this filesystem without this commit is poor, totalling about 4 minutes and 46 seconds in real time, with 12 seconds of system time. In contrast to the patched kernel, it totals about 1 second in real time, with 17 milliseconds of system time.</p><p><strong>It’s a huge improvement!</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/pretty-woman-with-modern-laptop-sitting-floor-with-win-gesture-grey-wall_13814109.htm#fromView=image_search_similar&amp;page=3&amp;position=22&amp;uuid=8eb92a45-4233-4174-8445-7ccb4fd07f7e&amp;query=Laptop+sitting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Image by diana.grytsku on Freepik</a></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computers/" target="_blank">#Computers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/exfat/" target="_blank">#exFAT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/filesystem/" target="_blank">#Filesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/performance/" target="_blank">#performance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/speed/" target="_blank">#speed</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>

Aptivi<p><strong>SysV filesystem is being removed from Linux&nbsp;6.15</strong></p><p>In the old Unix days, there was a filesystem that implemented the Xenix FS, Coherent Unix FS, and SystemV/386 FS. It allowed file organization and access that provided the data storage service that allowed applications to access mass storage and its contents, including files and folders.</p><p>The ex-maintainer of this filesystem support for Linux systems had orphaned the filesystem maintenance back <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230216062922.2151960-1-hch@lst.de/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in 2023</a>, when the maintainer said that there was no way to test it, with the possible removal slated in the future.</p><p>The future has come, and <a href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/commit/?h=vfs-6.15.sysv&amp;id=448fa70158f9b348e71869cfe4a31988e07b20b2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jan Kara from the SUSE team</a> has pushed a commit to the VFS git that removed all code for the SysV support for Linux, which confirms that, starting from Linux 6.15, you won’t be able to access these legacy filesystems. This is because, back in 2023, Google’s Linux kernel fuzzer, <a href="https://github.com/google/syzkaller" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">syzkaller</a>, has automatically reported <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/all/0000000000000ccf9a05ee84f5b0@google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a bug</a> in SysV where the sleep function was called from an invalid context.</p><p>As nobody is using this filesystem in their Linux installation, it’s safe to remove this filesystem support from the kernel. This only affects computers that have both Linux and a legacy Unix system that uses this antique filesystem installed, but the amount of such computers is very small.</p><p>Once Linux 6.15 gets released, you won’t be able to use any partitions that use this filesystem.</p><p><a href="https://audiomack.com/aptivi/song/sysv-filesystem-is-being-removed-from-linux-615" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://audiomack.com/aptivi/song/sysv-filesystem-is-being-removed-from-linux-615</a></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/filesystem/" target="_blank">#Filesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/fs/" target="_blank">#FS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/sysv/" target="_blank">#SysV</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/sysv-filesystem/" target="_blank">#SysVFilesystem</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/unix/" target="_blank">#Unix</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>
