I've been creating simfs and ploop based containers and exercising them in
different ways. While the ploop-based containers are basically working, in
my testing a ploop-based CT seems to require more resources than an
equivalent simfs-based CT. On my modest 32 bit test rig with 1 GB RAM, I've
been running dbench on simfs based CTs and looking at performance with new
kernel versions. But when running dbench tests on a ploop based CT with the
same resources, it has not been able to finish because the machine runs out
of resources, performance slows to a crawl and even host processes are
killed off.

I'll try to get some more memory for this machine for further testing.

Regards,

Joe

Can you please report slabtop output? We've just fixed obe memory leak. Thanks!

I'm running slabtop every 30 seconds during a dbench run and the thing that
is growing the fastest and taking the lion's share is biovec-256 - you can
see it growing at 30 second intervals.

Exactly. It's fixed in next kernel version. Sorry for that.

Btw, when comparing performance be aware that disk performance depends a lot on placement. Disk beginning is typically around 2x faster.
