Bad file system performance in OS X Mavericks

After installing OS X Mavericks I experience bad file system performance approx. three times per day: Opening Finder and trying to a access a directory gets my MacBook Air (1.8 GHz Intel Core i7 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with 250 GB Flash) stuck every approx. 10th time, not always. Same on my brandnew MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with 1 TB Flash. This is not a hardware problem. It is a Mavericks problem. Under Mountain Lion I did not have any problems.
Is there any way to get rid of the annoying wait cycles?

  • Windows 8.1 File System Performance Down Compared to Windows 7

    I have a good workstation and a fast SSD array as my boot volume. 
    Ever since installing Windows 8.1 I have found the file system performance to be somewhat slower than that of Windows 7.
    There's nothing wrong with my setup - in fact it runs as stably as it did under Windows 7 on the same hardware with a similar configuration. 
    The NTFS file system simply isn't quite as responsive on Windows 8.1.
    For example, under Windows 7 I could open Windows Explorer, navigate to the root folder of C:, select all the files and folders, then choose
    Properties.  The system would count up all the files in all the folders at a rate of about
    30,000 files per second
    the first time, then about 50,000 files per second the next time, when all the file system data was already cached in RAM.
    Windows 8.1 will enumerate roughly
    10,000 files per second the first time, and around
    18,000 files per second the second time -
    a roughly 1 to 3 slowdown.  The reduced speed once the data is cached in RAM implies that something in the operating system is the bottleneck.
    Not every operation is slower.  I've benchmarked raw disk I/O, and Windows 8.1 can sustain almost the same data rate, though the top speed is a little lower.  For example, Windows 7 vs. 8 comparisons using the ATTO speed benchmark:
    Windows 7:
    Windows 8:

    No worries, and thanks for your response.
    The problem can be characterized most quickly by the slowdown in enumerating files in folders.  Unfortunately, besides some benchmarks that show only an incremental degradation in file read/write performance, I don't have any good before/after
    measurements of other actual file operations.
    Since posting the above I have verified:
    My system has 8dot3 support disbled (same as my Windows 7 setup did).
    Core Parking is disabled; CPU benchmarks are roughly equivalent to what they were.
    File system caching is configured the same.

  • Bad Hard Drive or Bad File System?

    Good morning.
    A few months ago my late 2008 iMac went to the Genius Bar for what I was convinced was a bad hard drive. I was having long "beachball" pauses, until I couldn't do much without waiting several seconds, at least, for the program to respond, even if I wasn't running much of anything. I started seeing I/O errors in the kernel log pointing to the system disk. Finally, the system stopped booting, getting stuck forever at the grey apple screen. The disk utility was unable to repair the file system and the complete hardware test confirmed a problem with the hard drive.
    So I was pretty surprised when I lugged the thing to the Genius Bar and they decided the file system was just totally messed up. They reinstalled Snow Leopard (something I could have done at home, had the tech on the phone not agreed with me that it was a physical issue), and I went home. It worked great for a time. I couldn't understand how a system could develop a problem so severe, but it worked and I was happy.
    But now it looks like I'm running into the same issue. WoW chokes. Firefox freezes. iTunes 10 makes me want punch a wall. I'm not necessarily running all three at the same time, and other program are starting to act the same way. And as of last night, those I/O errors are appearing in my log again (oh yeah, the console freezes too).
    If it's not a physical disk issue, I just don't understand how this could happen twice. IIRC, the Genius explained that the file system is self-healing, but eventually the problems stack up until it just craps itself. Is HFS such a delicate flower? I was gently admonished for doing things like running WoW and having a Bootcamp partition (the latter of which I don't have now). This seems like a silly thing to worry about. Both are perfectly normal uses of any reasonably powerful system.
    Could it really be messed up a second time? Should I just insist that the hard drive be replaced? If you do think it's nothing more than a logical issue, can you help me understand how this happens and how to prevent it? I'm trying to understand Macs as well as I understand Windows-based PCs.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reassurance on HFS, Macbig. I wanted to trust the expertise of the Genius, but it was a pretty confusing situation. I saw every sign that on a non-Mac would scream failing hard drive, including an actual failed hardware test, and to have someone confidently tell me that the hard drive was fine and that the test could determine the drive was failed based on a screwy file system left me doubtful that I could ever quite understand these Macs.
    I know I won't be able to take my iMac in for service this week, but maybe I can get a ticket in for parts in the meantime.
    WZZZ, I will definitely run the extended test again. S.M.A.R.T reports all is well, but I can't remember the last time I've seen S.M.A.R.T warn of approaching doom before it was too late.

  • Solaris file system performance

    I run postmark on solaris and ext3 to compare their performance. I found the Solaris is three times slower than ext3. Is there anything wrong? I use "mount" to display all mount point and can see logging is open for the disk I'm testing. I tried closing the logging by "mount -o nologging" and the performance if even worse. So I think the logging is working. But why the performance is still so bad? My computer has 2G ram and the disk I'm using is SATA disk. I found the white paper from SUN says solaris is much faster than ext3 and they use postmark too. Is there any other parameter?

    postmark is all about metadata operation performance. Which UFS has always been fairly bad at since solaris is paranoid about flushing metadata and syncing the disks religously to avoid filesystem corruption in case of sudden reboot.
    Logging is not primarily a performance optimisation. Its primary function is to avoid having to fsck the disk after an unclean shutdown. So its not surprising that logging doesnt help postmark all that much.
    You can try mounting the filesystem noatime which should help a bit.
    You can also try ZFS inctead of UFS which supposedly has excellent postmark scores.
    You should also be aware that postmark is a very contrived benchmark which only adequately represents the performance of a small subset of programs. Specifically those which manipulate large numbers of small files. Like a mail server.

  • Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

    Hello all,
    I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s).  This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle  10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
    While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export.  After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)".  I have included a portion of these files below.
    I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log.  I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect.  Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have  a specific file or area to check.
    If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Regards,
    Rusty Robbins

    Hello Peter,
    Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
    1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
    All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
    2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
    I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
    3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
    I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell.  ;p )
    We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully.  The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
    One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering.  Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact.  One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname.  This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times.  While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host.  So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
    This did raise one question in my mind, however.  I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
    SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3  --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
    Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export?  I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.
    Regards,
    Rusty

  • Mavericks Server; smbd: File system does not support 0x0, time/size attrs

    So I recently installed a Mac Mini with Mavericks and Server 3.2.2 in the main office of my company and everything has been going well, minus a few expected bugs, until recently. Starting last week we've been experiencing random intervals where File Sharing stopped working altogether, and I'd been able to reboot and get it running again. Unfortunately, as I'm the Systems and Server Admin, I've been too busy to look at the logs until now (following the degradation of one of the drives in our DAT-Optic RAID system, I figured it was time to make it a priority), and I'm seeing dozens of entries in the system logs regarding the process smbd with file system does not support errors.

    As far as I can tell, nothing else has changed in our system except for the fact that one of the drives died and was rebuilt as of yesterday (these smbd problems extend to last week shortly after I updated to 3.2.2 I believe). Any help would be much appreciated. I would normally first attempt a repair permissions to see if the issue is related to a bad plist somewhere but the last time we did that, our ACLs were duplicated across our file share and often incorrectly. I'm not sure if it's just me but the last Mac Server software I used was Snow Leopard Server (when it was still a full OS version) and it was infinitely more stable than what I've experienced thus far with Server 3. Anyway, I appreciate any help/advice that can be given and I apologize for the rant.

    Been getting the same errors for a while.

    Believe they are related to random disconnects from the file server (10.9.5).

  • Among the available file systems for formatting that can be found in Disc Utility, which gives the best transfer performance?

    I have a HDD under MS-DOS, which claims transfer speeds above and beyond of 480MB/s, but the actual speeds I have been getting are closer to 300kB/s. Is there a way to improve this merely by reformatting volume to another file system?

    If you don't need to use it with PCs, copy any data you want to keep off and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Also, since it seems to be connected through USB 2.0, unplug all unnecessary devices when transferring data to improve performance.

  • File system cache performance

    hi.
    i was wondering if anyone could offer any insight into how to
    assess the performance of the file system cache. I am interested
    in things like hit rate (which % of pages read are coming from the
    cache instead of from disk), the amount of data read from the cache
    over a time span, etc.
    outside of the ::memstat dcmd for mdb, i cannot seem to find a whole lot about this topic.
    thanks.

  • Warming up File System Cache for BDB Performance

    Hi,
    We are using BDB DPL - JE package for our application.
    With our current machine configuration, we have
    1) 64 GB RAM
    2) 40-50 GB -- Berkley DB Data Size
    To warm up File System Cache, we cat the .jdb files to /dev/null (To minimize the disk access)
    e.g
         // Read all jdb files in the directory
         p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cat " + dirPath + "*.jdb >/dev/null 2>&1");
    Our application checks if new data is available every 15 minutes, If new Data is available then it clears all old reference and loads new data along with Cat *.jdb > /dev/null
    I would like to know that if something like this can be done to improve the BDB Read performance, if not is there any better method to Warm Up File System Cache ?
    Thanks,

    We've done a lot of performance testing with how to best utilize memory to maximize BDB performance.
    You'll get the best and most predictable performance by having everything in the DB cache. If the on-disk size of 40-50GB that you mention includes the default 50% utilization, then it should be able to fit. I probably wouldn't use a JVM larger than 56GB and a database cache percentage larger than 80%. But this depends a lot on the size of the keys and values in the database. The larger the keys and values, the closer the DB cache size will be to the on disk size. The preload option that Charles points out can pull everything into the cache to get to peak performance as soon as possible, but depending on your disk subsystem this still might take 30+ minutes.
    If everything does not fit in the DB cache, then your best bet is to devote as much memory as possible to the file system cache. You'll still need a large enough database cache to store the internal nodes of the btree databases. For our application and a dataset of this size, this would mean a JVM of about 5GB and a database cache percentage around 50%.
    I would also experiment with using CacheMode.EVICT_LN or even CacheMode.EVICT_BIN to reduce the presure on the garbage collector. If you have something in the file system cache, you'll get reasonably fast access to it (maybe 25-50% as fast as if it's in the database cache whereas pulling it from disk is 1-5% as fast), so unless you have very high locality between requests you might not want to put it into the database cache. What we found was that data was pulled in from disk, put into the DB cache, stayed there long enough to be promoted during GC to the old generation, and then it was evicted from the DB cache. This long-lived garbage put a lot of strain on the garbage collector, and led to very high stop-the-world GC times. If your application doesn't have latency requirements, then this might not matter as much to you. By setting the cache mode for a database to CacheMode.EVICT_LN, you effectively tell BDB to not to put the value or (leaf node = LN) into the cache.
    Relying on the file system cache is more unpredictable unless you control everything else that happens on the system since it's easy for parts of the BDB database to get evicted. To keep this from happening, I would recommend reading the files more frequently than every 15 minutes. If the files are in the file system cache, then cat'ing them should be fast. (During one test we ran, "cat *.jdb > /dev/null" took 1 minute when the files were on disk, but only 8 seconds when they were in the file system cache.) And if the files are not all in the file system cache, then you want to get them there sooner rather than later. By the way, if you're using Linux, then you can use "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to clear out the file system cache. This might come in handy during testing. Something else to watch out for with ZFS on Solaris is that sequentially reading a large file might not pull it into the file system cache. To prevent the cache from being polluted, it assumes that sequentially reading through a large file doesn't imply that you're going to do a lot of random reads in that file later, so "cat *.jdb > /dev/null" might not pull the files into the ZFS cache.
    That sums up our experience with using the file system cache for BDB data, but I don't know how much of it will translate to your application.

  • A bad scare: root file system recovery [SOLVED]

    Hi, everybody,
    The trouble began with an odd message: KDE Daemon: new storage detected (hard disk): open in a new window, ignore. Unfortunately, the hard disk in question is statically mounted via /etc/fstab; should have been mounted all along.
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide,iocharset=utf8 0 0
    /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide,iocharset=utf8 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 vfat user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/sdb2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sdb3 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
    #/dev/sda1 /home/alexey/mnt/a ext3 defaults 0 1
    It's /dev/sda1, now commented. Real trouble began when I tried to reboot. The kernel told me there's no root file system on sdb2; it checked the disks unsuccessfully, with scary messages about bad device names and device blocks, advised me to use rootfstype=kernel option, etc. sda1 turned out "bad" too. In fallback mode the system booted, but with file systems mounted read only; not much use... Using some recovery disk I commented out the /dev/sda1 line in /etc/fstab on suspicion that sda is the real offender; tried to reboot, without much success, then rebooted again, and something clicked into place; the system is back to normal, but I fear to approach sda1 . What happened? Any suggestion/link is going to be appreciated. It was pure luck; next time it could be much worse.
    Edit:
    Looks like 'clicked into place' is just the fallback kernel; kernel-related issue? It ran smoothly after the initial upgrade for a couple of weeks.
    Edit:

    I had this same damn thing happen. The problem is in the way the kernel gets its info from the bios. The bios has a nasty habit of switching the drives around even when sda is connected to sata1. This became a problem when libata came about and changed all drives to sdxX naming convention.
    To fix the no booting problem and the stupid rootfstype= error thing, u need to use Persistent block naming device scheme. Here on the wiki is a page dedicated to this... http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Per … ice_naming
    Try it and see if it helps. I used the /dev/by-uuid.

    Several problems exist.
    1.
    Back up your Mac prior to making any changes to its file system. Time Machine has not been configured properly To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    2.
    You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.
    3.
    That Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file

  • System error 9 bad file descriptor

    Hello. I am running system 10.3.9 and when I try to sync I get this error message, "system error 9 bad file descriptor." Needless to say I am unable to sync. Has anyone run into this problem? Are there any suggestions to fix it?

    We have authorization problem, restric by OHD technical name.

  • Distributed File System Replication between servers with different performance

    If Distributed File System Replication is set between servers with different performance. What will happen with the performance of the fastest server? Will the performance decrease to match the performance of the
    slowest server in the chain? I mean, will the source slow down (processor speed) if the recipients can't keep up? 

    Hi,
    If you mix different performance server for DFS replication, most of improvements on the fastest server are disabled for backwards compatibility and the performance decrease to match the performance of the slowest server.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
