9a6378d803 Rename the undocumented -E option to -X.
Implement -E option which will erase the filesystem sectors before
making the new filesystem.  Reserved space in front of the superblock
(bootcode) is not erased.

NB: Erasing can take as long time as writing every sector sequentially.

This is relevant for all flash based disks which use wearlevelling.

3249f70d0f - Pay attention to the fact that ioctl(2) is only known to
return -1 on error while any other return value from it can
indicate success.  (See RETURN VALUE in our ioctl(2) manpage
and the POSIX spec.)

- Avoid assumptions about the state of the data buffer after
ioctl(2) failure.

35956d32df MFp4:
Add a new option to newfs(8), -r, to specify reserved space at the
end of the device.  It can be useful, e.g., when the device is to
become a member of a gmirror array later w/o losing the file system
on it.

Document the new option in the manpage.

While I'm here, improve error handling for -s option, which is
syntactically similar to -r; and document the fact that -s0 selects
the default fs size explicitly, which can be useful, e.g., in a
menu-based wrapper around newfs(8) requiring some value be entered
for the fs size.

Also fix a small typo in the help line for -s (missing space).

b459937e0c Throw the switch--change to UFS2 as our default file system format for
FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later:

- newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically
  requested (-O1).  To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default.

- sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new
  file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change
  the file system layout in the disk labeler).  To do this, I inverted
  the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and
  ufs1 is the edge case.  There's a slight semantic change in the
  key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2.

This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and
that I couldn't find.

1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

a61ab64ac4 Directory layout preference improvements from Grigoriy Orlov <gluk@ptci.ru>.
His description of the problem and solution follow. My own tests show
speedups on typical filesystem intensive workloads of 5% to 12% which
is very impressive considering the small amount of code change involved.

------

  One day I noticed that some file operations run much faster on
small file systems then on big ones. I've looked at the ffs
algorithms, thought about them, and redesigned the dirpref algorithm.

  First I want to describe the results of my tests. These results are old
and I have improved the algorithm after these tests were done. Nevertheless
they show how big the perfomance speedup may be. I have done two file/directory
intensive tests on a two OpenBSD systems with old and new dirpref algorithm.
The first test is "tar -xzf ports.tar.gz", the second is "rm -rf ports".
The ports.tar.gz file is the ports collection from the OpenBSD 2.8 release.
It contains 6596 directories and 13868 files. The test systems are:

1. Celeron-450, 128Mb, two IDE drives, the system at wd0, file system for
   test is at wd1. Size of test file system is 8 Gb, number of cg=991,
   size of cg is 8m, block size = 8k, fragment size = 1k OpenBSD-current
   from Dec 2000 with BUFCACHEPERCENT=35

2. PIII-600, 128Mb, two IBM DTLA-307045 IDE drives at i815e, the system
   at wd0, file system for test is at wd1. Size of test file system is 40 Gb,
   number of cg=5324, size of cg is 8m, block size = 8k, fragment size = 1k
   OpenBSD-current from Dec 2000 with BUFCACHEPERCENT=50

Algorithm description

The old dirpref algorithm is described in comments:

/*
 * Find a cylinder to place a directory.
 *
 * The policy implemented by this algorithm is to select from
 * among those cylinder groups with above the average number of
 * free inodes, the one with the smallest number of directories.
 */

A new directory is allocated in a different cylinder groups than its
parent directory resulting in a directory tree that is spreaded across
all the cylinder groups. This spreading out results in a non-optimal
access to the directories and files. When we have a small filesystem
it is not a problem but when the filesystem is big then perfomance
degradation becomes very apparent.

What I mean by a big file system ?

  1. A big filesystem is a filesystem which occupy 20-30 or more percent
     of total drive space, i.e. first and last cylinder are physically
     located relatively far from each other.
  2. It has a relatively large number of cylinder groups, for example
     more cylinder groups than 50% of the buffers in the buffer cache.

The first results in long access times, while the second results in
many buffers being used by metadata operations. Such operations use
cylinder group blocks and on-disk inode blocks. The cylinder group
block (fs->fs_cblkno) contains struct cg, inode and block bit maps.
It is 2k in size for the default filesystem parameters. If new and
parent directories are located in different cylinder groups then the
system performs more input/output operations and uses more buffers.
On filesystems with many cylinder groups, lots of cache buffers are
used for metadata operations.

My solution for this problem is very simple. I allocate many directories
in one cylinder group. I also do some things, so that the new allocation
method does not cause excessive fragmentation and all directory inodes
will not be located at a location far from its file's inodes and data.
The algorithm is:
/*
 * Find a cylinder group to place a directory.
 *
 * The policy implemented by this algorithm is to allocate a
 * directory inode in the same cylinder group as its parent
 * directory, but also to reserve space for its files inodes
 * and data. Restrict the number of directories which may be
 * allocated one after another in the same cylinder group
 * without intervening allocation of files.
 *
 * If we allocate a first level directory then force allocation
 * in another cylinder group.
 */

  My early versions of dirpref give me a good results for a wide range of
file operations and different filesystem capacities except one case:
those applications that create their entire directory structure first
and only later fill this structure with files.

  My solution for such and similar cases is to limit a number of
directories which may be created one after another in the same cylinder
group without intervening file creations. For this purpose, I allocate
an array of counters at mount time. This array is linked to the superblock
fs->fs_contigdirs[cg]. Each time a directory is created the counter
increases and each time a file is created the counter decreases. A 60Gb
filesystem with 8mb/cg requires 10kb of memory for the counters array.

  The maxcontigdirs is a maximum number of directories which may be created
without an intervening file creation. I found in my tests that the best
performance occurs when I restrict the number of directories in one cylinder
group such that all its files may be located in the same cylinder group.
There may be some deterioration in performance if all the file inodes
are in the same cylinder group as its containing directory, but their
data partially resides in a different cylinder group. The maxcontigdirs
value is calculated to try to prevent this condition. Since there is
no way to know how many files and directories will be allocated later
I added two optimization parameters in superblock/tunefs. They are:

        int32_t  fs_avgfilesize;   /* expected average file size */
        int32_t  fs_avgfpdir;      /* expected # of files per directory */

These parameters have reasonable defaults but may be tweeked for special
uses of a filesystem. They are only necessary in rare cases like better
tuning a filesystem being used to store a squid cache.

I have been using this algorithm for about 3 months. I have done
a lot of testing on filesystems with different capacities, average
filesize, average number of files per directory, and so on. I think
this algorithm has no negative impact on filesystem perfomance. It
works better than the default one in all cases. The new dirpref
will greatly improve untarring/removing/coping of big directories,
decrease load on cvs servers and much more. The new dirpref doesn't
speedup a compilation process, but also doesn't slow it down.
