Traditionally, fsck is invoked before the filesystems are mounted
and all checks are done to completion at that time. If background
checking is available, fsck is invoked twice. It is first invoked
at the traditional time, before the filesystems are mounted, with
the -F flag to do checking on all the filesystems that cannot do
background checking. It is then invoked a second time, after the
system has completed going multiuser, with the -B flag to do checking
on all the filesystems that can do background checking. Unlike
the foreground checking, the background checking is started
asynchonously so that other system activity can proceed even on
the filesystems that are being checked.
At the moment, only the fast filesystem supports background checking.
To be able to do background checking, a filesystem must have been
running with soft updates, not have been marked as needing a
foreground check, and be mounted and writable when the background
check is to be done (i.e., not listed as `noauto' in /etc/fstab).
These changes are the final piece needed to support background
filesystem checking. They will not have any effect until you update
your /etc/rc to invoke fsck in its new mode of operation. I am
still playing around with exactly what those changes should be
and should be committing them later this week.

These options are primarily intended for use by the fsck front end.
All output is directed to stdout so that the output is coherent

the code never checks if it has passed the mountpoint, so in some
cases where the mount() never succeeds, it can end up applying the

a number of assumptions related to the parsing of options in
/etc/exports, and missed a few necessary new error checks.
The main problems related to netmasks: an IPv6 network address
missing a netmask would result in the filesystem being exported to
the whole IPv6 world, non-continuous netmasks would be made continuous
without any warnings, and nothing prevented you specifying an IPv4
mask with an IPv6 address.
This change addresses these issues. As a side-effect we now store
netmasks in sockaddr structs (this matches the kernel interface,
and is closer to the way it used to be). Add a flag OP_HAVEMASK to
keep track of whether or not we have successfully got a mask from
any source. Replace some mask-related helper functions with versions
that use the sockaddr-based masks.
Also tidy up get_net() and fix the code that interprets IPv4 partial
networks such as "127.1" as network rather than host addresses.
Properly zero out some structures that were ending up partially
containing junk from the stack, fix a few formatting issues, and

handler which is not safe due to reentrancy problems.
Instead, add a simple handler that just sets a flag, and call the
more complex function from main() when necessary. Unfortunately to
be able to check this flag, we must expand the svc_run() call, but
the RPC library makes that relatively easy to do.

left in here.
- Simplify do_mount() slightly by using an addrinfo pointer to keep

- Revert del_mlist() to its pre-tirpc prototype. Unlike NetBSD's version,
ours lets the caller generate any syslog() messages, so that it
can include the service name in the message.

the fact that the flag is set to indicate that it is safe to run. If
background fsck encounters non-soft updates style inconsistencies, it
will exit with unexpected inconsistencies.

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

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.

Overflow of cg_niblk causes spurious "SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD" warnings
prompts in fsck_ffs. cg_niblk has type int16_t, but it is (ab)used
to hold the number of inodes per group (it has nothing to do with the
number of inode blocks in the cg as claimed in ffs/fs.h), and there
can be lots of inodes per group. E.g.,
newfs -i 8192 -b 16384 -f 16384 -c 255 ...
gives 0xA900 inodes/group. Assignment of this to cg_niblk gives
-0x5700. This is mostly harmless (ufs/ffs doesn't use cg_niblk, and
bug-for-bug compatible overflow occurs in newfs), but in
fsck_ffs/pass5.c, negative values of cg_niblk limit cg_irotor to 0
and the summary info appears to be bad.
