19:15 Performance Tuning
- Defaults are someone guessing at a "safe option"
- Three hosts being tuned
- NAS (file server)
- vHost (virtual disks live here)
- Container Host
- When should you performance tune?
- Broadcasting
- Networks (ISPs)
- The more "dense" the more benefits
- TuneD
- ZFS "Adaptive Replacement Cache" (ARC)
- Default is 50% of RAM
- Swap file
- System doesn't empty on its own
- ARC stats
- Hits and misses
- Resets on reboot
- Memory pressure
- Swapyness
- 60 is the default
- the "cliff rate"
- Tuned to around 10%-30% on "performance profiles"
- System starts swapping before you hit zero RAM
- ZFS record size
- Record size is the "Maximum" not "Fixed size"
- Media Library 1M
- Postgres 16K
- ZFS write amplification (8k writes to 1M records hurt)
- AI study bot rules
- Man systemd.directives
- Write in and tell us if you want more!
Extra Credit: What to search after the show
- ZFS ARC Tuning
- ZFS Record Size
- ZFS send receive preserves record size
- Record size is per "data set" not directory
- Record size only affects new writes
- "zfs_dirty_data_max" vs "vm.dirty_ratio"
- "QEMU "cache=none" O_DIRECT"
- Postgres on NFS PGDATA caveats
- "Tuned-adm virtual-host" hypervisor profile (The one nobody mentions)
- Tuned profile format "sysctl" vs "main" the plugin/argument split
- NFS mount options (the client side fix)
- "vmstat" reading swap columns correctly
