NEX-3514 Implement persistent L2ARC #3744
Comments
|
illumos 3525 is now in code review. |
|
This feature would be extraordinarily helpful to have. Is there something us mere mortals can do to help move this forward? |
|
Indeed, it's been already 6 months since the last activity on the illumos code review request. My guess is that @skiselkov has simply been too busy with other, more pressing matters, but I do hope he'll eventually catch up on this too. Obviously, once the patch reaches reasonable maturity on illumos, someone would have to also port it to Linux. With my pathetic programming skills, I'm afraid I can't personally offer much help in terms of development, but once we reach that stage, I'd eagerly participate in the testing. |
|
@kerberizer Sorry I couldn't get to it so far, but it's definitely not dropped. We've been running this in Nexenta for a few months now and it seems working well, so it's really just a matter of me working on the changes requested by Matt and getting it into open-zfs (from which ZoL should get it naturally as part of upstreaming merging). |
|
@behlendorf this is a duplicate of #925 - might want to merge/close as you think fit. |
|
@cwedgwood thanks for pointing this out. I'm closing #925 as a duplicate. Updated progress at https://reviews.csiden.org/r/267/ |
|
@ptx0 The work is ongoing. I'm currently focusing on getting TRIM upstreamed, pL2ARC will be next after that. TRIM is nearing the end of its protracted upstreaming effort, so it'll go in hopefully "Very Soon(tm)". |
|
@skiselkov This appears stuck upstream on https://reviews.csiden.org/r/267. Hate to bother you, but do you have any context for the current state? |
|
I am offering a symbolic bounty of 0.025 BTC (~100$ at current price) for the committer of this feature expiring 2017/11/01. To claim, please mail me a BTC address. |
|
Interestingly, it appears the TRIM change they've blocked on has no pending open review issues (at least at https://reviews.csiden.org/r/263/) but the last update was months ago. Additionally, the TLS cert has expired... so, is that review site even in use? @skiselkov |
|
Any updates on this feature? |
|
Are there any news/updates on this important feature? The community would really appreciate any status updates. Great to see ZFS on linux and thanks for your work! |
|
I am happy to post a new (still only symbolic) bounty for the committer of this feature of 0.05 BTC (~400$ at current price). Thanks to @Rudd-O for sponsoring half. Expiry: 2018/02/01. |
|
has anybody tried work by @yshui ? |
|
I just did a cherry pick and got 2 minor merge errors, but in module/zfs/arc.c the merge errors are plenty. Maybe @behlendorf or @skiselkov can give an update about when we can expect this killer-feature in zfsonlinux in the future. Thx. |
|
+1 on the waiting list ) |
|
I am waiting too. @skiselkov I would like to ask you if you can give any updates about the progress? Above you said pers. l2arc is the next thing after TRIM, so do you have any timeline? Many thanks, we really appreciate your work! |
|
👍 this is a huge frustration for my usecase -- takes hours to warm the pool cache and persistent l2arc would be amazing. |
|
Bump for awareness, having persistent L2ARC will help considerably with use cases like homelab servers and office storage servers that get rebooted often. 😄 |
|
I don't recall seeing any activity from @kernelOfTruth in some time. At least on github. |
|
I think the current consensus is that we are waiting for illumos #3525 to be merged? @behlendorf |
|
By the looks of it, @ahrens did a code review "2 years, 7 months ago", then Saso ( @skiselkov ) resolved those issues, and then Matthew did a review again, "2 years 5 months ago", at which point the ball seems to be on Saso's side. Probably it would help to port 3525 here under GitHub, although I'm not sure how essential that is. PS. At that time @ahrens was of course the main reviewer, but not the only one -- see e.g. https://reviews.csiden.org/r/267/#comment690 and other comments by Sean Doran under r/267 |
|
@gf-mse That's my understanding as well. |
|
From what i have seen, @skiselkov isnt still any longer active in the openzfs (on linux) project. |
|
@wolfgangwuerfl I'm around and I read all these messages. But I'm swamped with work on internal stuff that I don't have time to get this push finalized :( I want to make time some time soon, but I can't make promises. If there are any volunteers that would be willing to take the push over, I'd be happy to provide any info necessary. |
|
Thanks for the info and your amazing work, guess, i as i PHP Developer would be not much of a help ;-) |
|
@skiselkov I suppose passing over all the necessary information would cost more trouble than just doing it oneself. But if I can be of any help -- please let me know ( an experienced C programmer but zero acquaintance with ZFS code ); I suppose it is possible to delegate simple related tasks, if there are any. |
|
@skiselkov I have previously made attempts on porting 3525 to ZoL (#2672, #1823). If there is anything I could do, just let me know. |

This commit makes the L2ARC persistent across reboots. We implement a light-weight persistent L2ARC metadata structure that allows L2ARC contents to be recovered after a reboot. This significantly eases the impact a reboot has on read performance on systems with large caches.

@jittygitty This issue is already implemented and long closed, not sure why you are mentioning it here? |
|
@icedream Apologies to anyone upset, was hoping it wouldn't be a nuisance. I had posted in a few tickets where "Bounty" had been discussed in a positive light, thinking there would be interest in participating in the crowd funding issue I linked. |
and others
