Those of you who followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141550, and went all the way backwards to RFS from ext4, you probably made a mistake. ext4 is objectively a better file system, it just may be configured to run somehow slower, although more secure. This security is needed when the drive can be disconnected on the fly or may suddenly lose power, which is obviously not applicable to our phones as the card is inside and nobody normally removes it with the phone on.
Anyway, I looked how Voodoo mounts the ext4 partitions and found couple of things that can be improved. First of all, "noatime" option should be set to all partition wherever possible. This option tells not to ever update last access time upon every read operation. It is actually being set like this with one of the init.d tweaks already. The other option has way bigger effect. It controls delayed allocations, the allocation mechanism that is one of the biggest improvement of ext4 over ext3. For some reason Voodoo sets it to "nodelalloc" for \data partition. As soon as I changed it to "delalloc", my Quadrant score shot from about 1700 to over 2300.
Here is how to fix it, IF YOU ARE STILL ON EXT4 FOR ALL 3 PARTITIONS. If you moved back to RFS this will have no effect.
If you don't use init.d, then you have to start using it You'll have to either modify one of the existing init.d scripts, or write you own like this:
--
#!system/bin/sh
for k in $(busybox mount | grep -E 'relatime|nodelalloc' | cut -d " " -f3) ; do
sync
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,delalloc $k
done
--
Those who already use init.d tweaks should modify the S98edt_tweaks file. Open it with an editor and change the "for" loop in the beginning (the one that deals with remounting partitions) to my code. Save, reboot, and try Quadrant now.
I also recommend removing the "fix" that extends SD read-ahead cache. Comment out the related code, you can easily find it in this file. This cache can bring more troubles than benefits, but well, it's up to you.
Btw you may as well remove code in 20sombionixInit file that deals with the same "noatime", the part that does "for k in $PART;..., done;", it's just redundant.
If you really wana back up your claim id suggest posing benchmarks. U can also ask dr Honk as hes the one that deved the kernel with voodoo lag fix and ext 4 and as i previously stated most the tweaks are directly from darkey and Teamwhiskey. Granted some can be changed like sd cache it can be commented out smaller and or larger i never said it was the end all be all of use this or else by all means experment. But no offense your just trying to say ext 4 is better not saying it is and isnt but its been stated before and beaten tod death its per case basis not everywhere is it better and in some places it is.
Here is my score now. Running stock KD1 with Bali 3.1, OC-ed to 1.2 MHz. All partitions are ext4, here is how they mounted:
--
rootfs on / type rootfs (ro,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noatime)
sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/block/stl9 on /system type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc)
/dev/block/stl11 on /cache type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc)
/dev/block/stl10 on /data type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
none on /acct type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuacct)
/dev/block/stl6 on /mnt/.lfs type j4fs (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /mnt/asec type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000)
none on /dev/cpuctl type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpu)
/dev/block/stl3 on /efs type rfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8)
/dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/vold/179:1 on /mnt/sdcard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)
...

Btw this is actually another proof that Quadrant don't mean much and nobody should pay much attention to them. The score just should not have jumped that much because of a single change to file writing option.

2.0 ghz oc cooled it long enough to be stable and take a pic and then reverted the changes phone gets really hot fast
How much are you overclocked? Do you want me to try 1.5MHz? I really don't want doing it, there is no practical reason.
Btw I wonder how your /data is mounted. Didn't you guys live it as ext4? Maybe you should change the mount options and see what happens. So if it's still ext4, try running this from adb:
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,delalloc /data
Run the scores again see if they change. I myself think they will not, it's more of a peculiarity of Quadrant than real improvement.

build is in my signature... kd1/bali 3.1uv oc'd to 1.5......
I can also tell you that as my quad score also went up... normal use of the phone is where it really shows. Instant anything.... smooth as butter. So I would say that quadrant does hold some water as far as how well your phone runs.
here is a run just now at 1.0ghz and my best run at 1.5ghz as well...

did this thread really turn into a "my quadrant score has a bigger ENGINE than your quadrant score"? because thats what it reads like.. get over yourselves..
your both posting really great mods that help the community immensely.. if people want to choose ext4 or rfs they can, but lets keep it at that..

I got my review unit of the Epic 4G in the mail and I wanted to update everyone on the performance of the device in comparison to the Captivate.
The Epic is indeed optimized for speed unlike the Captivate. It scores a 960 stock on Quadrant and obliterates the Captivate in every day usage.
I would go as far as to say that Samsung has eliminated the "stalling/lagging" problem with their latest software, which gives me great hope that future updates for the Captivate will sport the same fixes.
The Epic 4G's performance is akin to the Captivate w/ EXT2 Lag Fix or the NAND fix pre-installed... which is blazing.
Oh, and GPS is working.
Cools, by GPS working you mean it doesn't lose locks while driving or you mean your out standing on your deck and it works......

I understood that the Epic 4G was a Galaxy S Pro and had different hardware?
Wrong the epic has the rfs file system same as the rest of the galaxy s phones. It will need lag fix and it will be slower then the rest since the lag fix will be the sd card lag fix. The captivate has the slowest rom. If you just change the rom to I9000 it will run the same as the epic. You prove this your self by posting the quadrant score. If the file system was fixed it would get 1600 to 2000 stock. The droid x has slower cpu & gpu and gets 1200 to 1400.
The RFS subsystem is not such a poor performer on OneNAND, which is why the symlink-to-/dbdata hack works. It seems to be poor only on SD, but it's possible that the I-9000 ships with a newer module that helps with that.

You clearly don't understand what I posted. The Epic is, in my opinion, faster than the Droid X. Quadrant scores are not to be trusted. The Droid X's I/O score does not represent a boost in real performance. The Epic does not need the lag fix... I would know because I have it. And I have a Droid X comparison. Working on a Droid 2.
I have tried i9000 ROMs on my Captivate. They work better, but still need the lag fix. Epic is fast right out of the box for me.
Having said all that, it is possible that using a lag fix will still boost speed. But I haven't seen one delay or stall so far, so I'm doubtful there will be any noticeable boost.

rfs file system is called riser file system. it has been around the Unix world for decades. its an OK filesystem. no journaling log so should be fast on nand.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The truth is its the same rfs partition as all the galaxy s phones and you will need the lag fix. Sure it runs great. My Captivate did 2. Then I tried the lag fix and seen how much faster it could be. Try the sd card lag fix and watch how much faster market, browser & camera opens. Then watch your benchmarks double. Then come back and tell me theres no lag due to file system.
Try running the tool "Benchmark" from the market. What's the filesystem score results?
RFS is not reiserfs. RFS is robust file system, a proprietary filesystem by Samsung based on fat32.

Quadrant is BS. If you don't believe me and every experienced dev on this board, believe Cyanogen. The I/O test needs to be fixed on Quadrant.
I have the Captivate - stock speed is not half as good as the Epic's stock speed. Epic does not need the lag fix.
And ReiserFS does use a journal. Reiser4 uses a "wandering" log that is probably very similar to a log-structured filesystem in terms of performance and suitability for flash.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Here's the "Benchmark" application's FS results.
Total:
98.67
Creating 1000 empty files: 4.768 sec
Deleting 1000 empty files: 4.273 sec
Write 1M into file: 6.203474 M/sec
Read 1M from file: 192.3077 M/sec
Again - these benchmark apps are only testing creation, deletion, read, and write. There are other important parts that makeup a device's speed when interacting with files.

Are you running stock captivate? Just running the I9000 rom makes it a lot faster. Load up I9000 rom and post video of the speed difference of the two phones. Use market, youtube, camera & browser to test speed differences. Then load the captivate ext2 internal storage lag fix and test that vs epic. I would love to see the results. This has nothing to do with quadrant.

Exactly.
Nothing more nothing less.
Those are much better than on Captivate without lagfix. I suspect they just put /data on internal NAND... have you checked what device is mounted at /data with adb.

Have a buddy that works at main local Sprint store, have also seen and played with one and yes, it's faster. I get what you're saying re: no need for lag fix. If I had not played with one I would have thought "but adding a lag fix will make the fast speed here much faster!" ... which I don't so much agree with ... that is probably the resistance you're seeing here I think.
Seeing it work like that with the same hardware (presumably?) gave me some hope
That hack could be applied to any I/O benchmark. I/O is fast on ramdisk? Stop the presses!

So voodoo was created to solve lag problems...now we have froyo. A leaked version at that and the lag is pretty much gone.....at least in the custom rom builds of froyo. I don't really see the need for voodoo since I upgraded. Are there any benefits to the rfs file system? All I've read are the negatives but that was with eclair.

Try syncing Touchdown Exchange on RFS alone. Its miserable. Anything that is database intensive (lots of reads/writes) you will notice it. That is really the only app that I have noticed that RFS sucks on, but mainly because that is my primary app.
There must be a reason Samsung chose RFS - unless we hear from a Samsung developer, we may never know.
From what I've been able to gather about RFS, it is a FAT16 FS. Samsung implemented POSIX permissions and their own journaling mechanism on top of it. Sounds like a freaking zombie patchwork filesystem in my opinion.
MS released FAT16 in 1984. EXT4 was released in 2010. If Samsung hadn't of created RFS, my guess is that they would have likely gone with a reasonable choice for that partition: EXT3.
Though my background is systems administration and not phone hacking, I would say that there is not a single instance that I would use FAT over EXT for a filesystem that only Linux will see. EVER. It is only good as a FS that is read by several OSes, and even now NTFS is ubiquitously understood enough that I use it on my USB drives.
Long answer made short: NO. The only advantage RFS has over anything is that it is journaled where, by default, EXT2 and FAT are not.
Here's a very good, comprehensive (but concise) run-down on exactly what's going on with the lag. As the poster explains, journalling on an SSD is not required.
HI everyone
You probably dont know me, but I didt a very nice customization on the galaxy 5
The customization made the battery last 3 times longer and the system 2 as fast and the I/O benchmark in quadrant went from 550 to 3300
I noticed that the galasy 3 uses odin for firmware flashing so its quite the same to make these improvements
If anyone is interesting in testing, helping and check us at http://www.g5devteam.com

so are these tweaks for eclair or froyo ?
It surely will be big for us G3 users to have a custom rom. I m eagerly waitin for it. Will help in testing the ROM
Quadrant scores of 3300 are surely a fake, even the galaxy s scores not more than 1400 to 2000 (if using loop on data which means danger of data loss). Check cyanogens idea of how to fake quadrant scores... but this has nothing to say about real life performance.
Could you give more details on what changes you made?
Edit:
Just seen in your changelog that you use ext2 on system, data and cache. Where eventually system, which should be r/o anyway, is good with ext2, data and maybe also cache could be risky to loose data on unclean shutdown due to having no journal.
News:
- Ported the ext2 to /system
- adb server running as root
- /system is rw
- Im using the I5800XXJPF.rar
- flashing is done via odin, using the PDA.tar file
- Performance increase already
- quadrant values are the same since /data and /cache are still rfs

Updates us when this is available and if you have a donate tag i sure will support your good work
I want to update everyone right now about the status of this custom ROM. Motafoca is doing a superb job with this ROM.
So far I have seen (With comparison to stock 2.1 eclair, and cleaned versions of 2.2 JPF) a lot of bonuses.
17h and 18m since unplugged, display on for 1h45min, media server running for 2h 38min, gallery running for 34min, total call usage 27min, sent text messages 317, phone idle 14h 30min. And I'm still at 80% battery life!
Quadrant scores increased slightly in the 3d area, but all other quadrant scores stayed the same. The phone feels a lot faster when loading programs such as messaging and dialer. The phone overall feels a lot more responsive than the other two flashes.
So far this ROM is very promising! Motafoca's work is very well done
Barqers are you beta testing this rom? I did not see any downloads yet...
I have found this hack in the Thunderbolt android development thread in some ROM, so I decided to shared with you guys
- Download the attached file. Unzip the file.
- Push the unzipped file in xbin
adb push uber_quadrant /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/uber_quadrant
- Install Quadrant (Advanced or Basic)
- Execute the pushed file.
adb shell /system/xbin/uber_quadrant
- Run Quadrant and be amazed by the score.
Mine is attached without any overclocking.

why does it shows this? i see absolutely no relation to benchmarking. this is faking results. benchmarking is an objective messure of a speciffic (or a range of specific) performance aspects. in fact benchmarking is the only way to messure improvement.
the problem rarely lies wihtin benchmarking but most time at the user that does not understand the benchmark and false concludes from the results.
but in this case this has absolutely nothing to do with the often heared critics about benchmarks.
edit: the script that gets executed simply tricks the io system benchmark.

2271 without OC? That is how it is supposed to perform, a fully stock DHD can do that.

It hacks the application and gives you amazing scores.
Try it out

Overclocked or not, that scores weak my friend, i've had my dhd get over 3000 OC'd.
For whatever reason the advanced quadrant gives you better scores, however neither of them offer an actual reallife score which means your phone still runs the same, kind of pointless, no offence.
I've never really understood the fascination with benchmarks so excuse my ignorance, but is this not like writing 300mph on the speedo in your car and then getting all excited when the needle hits it?

True!
I don't see the point of benchmarking. So, I really don't see the point in faking IT!
Lol, this is still a good thread to laugh

Exactly! There are some very sad people about.
my DHD hardly reaches 1350 with Quadrant standard (stock rom), i wonder how some ppl are achieving 2500 with stock...

2500 is not possible with stock...
anyway, to get 2000 and a bit above you have to switch the cpu governor to performance. to do this you need root and setcpu. with the default ondemand governor this is not possible.
but do not keep performance governor for daily use! it keeps your cpu freq at max all the time.
Lmao! That's hilarious!

You should get a new rom!
My DHD just did 2534 using LeeDroid's kernel at 1.2ghz
'Amazing' doesn't really belong in the title of this thread.

Quadrants don't mean crap. Bump your sd read ahead cache to the max, overclock your cpu, enable all the stage fright crap in the build prop, tweak a few things here and there and you'll have that score. The only thing that actually increases performance would have been the overclock lol
I had a majoritively stock rom running 3600+ once. :/ I've seen barely usable builds running really high quads, and I've seen great fast smooth ones running real low...
Tl;dr - i wouldn't worry about it. Unless you're having performance issues. Then id reinstall with full wipes of everything.

Download vodoo control from the market. The free version. That will tell you in the options if lagfix is on. Easiest way.

or:
Code:
echo $(adb shell mount) | grep ext4
If you have lagfix enabled, you should get three lines back.
If you don't, you will get nothing.
