Noatime - no access time - do not update inode access times at each access As far as a NEW UBUNTU setup goes, go into the "Mount Options", and select the following: So how do we stop this? I am not sure, in the mount point options but there is probably an option. But basically your single write of 500ish KB of data, now has to update 5 pieces of metadata spread over the file or drive (fragmentation), and EACH of those 5 pieces needs the arm/head to find its location, read the original data, send it to the processor, have it processed, modified, and returned, then re-written to the disk, on EACH OF THOSE 5 EXTRA SECTORS. (or maybe I am confusing it with partial fills of sectors, if so apologies). And guess what? your drive (if its Advanced Format), has either 512KB sectors, or it has 4196KB Sectors, which means if something in this sector changes, it will re-write the ENTIRE sector.

Each time your torrent client flushes the RAM cache to disk, all of those files which just received a 500kb-4MB chunk, need to update those four dates, and your SUID (user ID) and (guID) group ID. "Last Modified" or "Last Accessed" and "Last Saved" and "Last written to by" and so on and so on. Now its down to the little things, all the tiny extra IOs that don't make any difference when doing normal filesystem operations.

I will say I was considering tying to figure out how to mount a SWAP partition in a similar fashion to how it works.

Which is EXACTLY what you want the fastest performing drive on this list for (And for sequential reads when it is completed a download and about to move it). Sorry look at the FOURTH graph, my bad, second graph is of SEQUENTIAL WRITES (which while tormenting you will NEVER have), Instead, graph 4 shows a comparison of 32MB RANDOM WRITES. Second graph, Ext2 is right up there (only thing I would suggest is faster would be the XFS). Ignore the first graph, it is reads, and sequential at that. We need HIGH throughput of SMALL RANDOM writes. These values are not true in every case, but for what we need it is pretty great. 2? not 4? you ask? Well, 2 is non-journaled. When you are partitioning Ubuntu for the first time on a computer, or a new drive for example, you can choose how that partition or drive is used. For Torrents, you will be GLAD to REDUCE THE SYSTEM LOAD by switching this second partition to a DIFFERENT file system (which I am presently looking into for you), AND additionally there are more options you can use. There is a setting in most torrent applications which re-checks the group of files it believes it has just completed, for errors, before moving those completed files to a "finished" folder (or, another drive). You don't want redundancy, nor do you worry much about data integrity or longevity. BUT, you could really care less about this feature, any checksum features, anything which records the 'modified' date each write that occurs to a file, just adds to the I/O count, increasing lag.
Until an SSD gets loaded into the second drive bay it will be limited to sharing this horrendous load with the server portion.ĮXT4 is a JOURNALING file system, which means it tracks all those extra little changes, writes 'em down. The Torrents directory /tor will require high amounts of random reads and writes, to about half of its contents, simultaneously, all the time. These use up a fair amount of cache for metadata downloads (for the 4TB attached USB drive of media) The reason the frist partition is so large is this laptop is also hosting Deluge, CouchPotato, SickRage, HeadPhones, and Emby. The second partition is 100GB, mounted to the first at point /tor. The HDD is split 60GB mounted / with the system all loaded on it. I know of a setup which is working well that has done this on an old laptop with a 160 GB HDD. If you are able to, I would suggest you split your drive into two primary partitions.
(Also, this forum SEVERELY botched the nice formatting and spacing. Also use the following mount options: noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,noguid,noexec Short answer: Use Ext2 on a torrent cache partition.
