[Mysqlfs-general] mysqlfs with reworked data strorage

[Michal L. <mi...@lo...>]

Hi all,

few minutes ago I have committed a new development version of mysqlfs
into CVS. It brings a reworked method for storing data. Instead of one
huge record for each file in table "data" we now store the data in 4kB
chunks (a.k.a. "sectors" or "blocks"). That speeds up especially updates
to files a _lot_ (feel free to do some benchmarking, I'm interested in
these numbers :-) and fixes the recently reported data corruptions for
files >1MB. As a side effect it allows for storing "sparse" files. Or at
least I believe so.

Please test it if you can and report any problems to this list. This
will eventually be released as mysqlfs 0.4 some day.

BTW I haven't packed up a tarball, check it out from anonymous CVS
instead: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=129981

Enjoy

Michal
