      ensure-dirs: Speed up when using big queues · 196d70fa
      Michael Hanselmann authored
      
      The “ensure-dirs” script as included in Ganeti 2.3 is very slow when
      working with big queues requiring a change of permissions on many or all
      files.
      
      $ find /var/lib/ganeti/queue/ | wc -l
      52354
      
      Before this change:
      $ time /usr/local/lib/ganeti/ensure-dirs -f
      real    16m4.739s
      
      While not adressed in this patch, I'd like to record the overall
      ineffiency of the “ensure-dirs” script, even after this change:
      
      $ time /usr/local/lib/ganeti/ensure-dirs -f
      real    5m57.362s
      […]
      $ strace -e clone,execve -f -c /usr/local/lib/ganeti/ensure-dirs -f
      % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
      ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
       50.08    5.147090          49    104774           clone
       49.92    5.131094          49    104739           execve
      
      More changes will be needed. Just for comparision, a small Python
      snippet changing permissions on all files (“ensure-dirs” changes the
      owner too):
      
      $ time python -c 'import os; from ganeti import utils;
      [os.chmod(i, 0644) for i in
      utils.ListVisibleFiles("/var/lib/ganeti/queue/archive/big")]'
      real    0m0.605s
      […]
