Inactive data compressionによるパフォーマンス影響が大きかった際の対応方法が気になる

こんにちは、のんピ(@non____97)です。

皆さんはInactive data compressionによるパフォーマンス影響が大きかった際の対応方法が気になったことはありますか? 私はあります。

Inactive data compressionは閾値を超過した日数、そのデータブロックにアクセスがない場合に32KBで単位で圧縮を行う仕組みです。詳細は以下記事をご覧ください。

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP(以降FSxN)のFAQには圧縮や重複排除などStorage Efficiencyを有効化しても、ほとんどのワークロードではパフォーマンスに悪影響を与えることはないと記載されています。

Q: データの圧縮と重複排除はファイルシステムのパフォーマンスにどのように影響しますか?

A: ほとんどのワークロードでは、圧縮と重複排除を有効にしても、ファイルシステムのパフォーマンスに悪影響を与えることはありません。

実際、ほとんどのワークロードでは、圧縮によって全体的なパフォーマンスが向上します。RAM キャッシュからの高速な読み取りと書き込みを提供するために、FSx for ONTAP ファイルサーバーでは、ファイルサーバーとストレージディスク間で利用できるよりも高いレベルのネットワーク帯域幅がフロントエンドネットワークインターフェイスカード (NIC) に備わっています。データ圧縮によりほとんどのワークロードでファイルサーバーとストレージディスク間で送信されるデータ量が減少するため、データ圧縮を使用すると、ファイルシステム全体のスループットキャパシティーが増加します。ファイルシステムのフロントエンド NIC が飽和状態になると、データ圧縮に関連するスループットキャパシティーの増加は制限されます。データ圧縮を使用する場合のスループットパフォーマンスの詳細については、FSx for ONTAP のドキュメントを参照してください。

NetApp ONTAP ファイルシステム管理リソース – Amazon Web Services

「ほとんど」であるため、もしかすると圧縮によってパフォーマンスが悪化することも考えられます。

2014年と古めのONTAPのTechnical Reportですが、「圧縮によりスループットへの影響が考えられるため、パフォーマンステストを行うべき」と記載されています。

Although we have optimized compression to minimize impact on your throughput, there may still be an impact even if you are only using postprocess compression, since we still have to uncompress some data in memory when servicing reads. This impact will continue so long as the data is compressed on disk regardless of whether compression is disabled on the volume at a future point. See the section on uncompression in this document for more details.

Because of these factors, NetApp recommends that performance with compression/deduplication be carefully measured in a test setup and taken into sizing consideration before deploying

. . (中略) . .

Compression has an impact on I/O performance. File services–type benchmark testing with compression savings of 50% has shown a decrease in throughput of ~5%. The impact on your environment will varydepending on a number of factors, including the amount of savings, the type of storage system, how busy your system is, and other factors laid out at the beginning of this section. NetApp highly recommends testing in a lab environment to fully understand the impact on your environment before implementing in production.

. . (中略) . .

Read Performance of a Compressed Volume

When data is read from a compressed volume, the impact on the read performance varies depending on the access patterns, the amount of compression savings on disk, and how busy the system resources are (CPU and disk). In a sample test with a 50% CPU load on the system, read throughput from a dataset with 50% compressibility showed decreased throughput of 25%. On a typical system the impact could be higher because of the additional load on the system. Typically the most impact is seen on small random reads of highly compressible data, and on a system that is more than 50% CPU busy. Impact on performance will vary and should be tested before implementing in production.

(以下機械翻訳)

スループットへの影響を最小限に抑えるために圧縮を最適化していますが、読み取りを処理する際にメモリ内のデータを解凍する必要があるため、ポストプロセス圧縮のみを使用している場合でも影響が生じる場合があります。この影響は、将来の時点でボリュームの圧縮を無効にするかどうかに関係なく、データがディスクで圧縮されている限り続きます。詳細については、このドキュメントの圧縮解除のセクションを参照してください。

このような要因があるため、ネットアップでは、圧縮/重複排除のパフォーマンスをテストセットアップで注意深く測定し、次のように評価することを推奨します。 を導入する前に、テストセットアップで慎重に測定し、サイジングを考慮することをお勧めします。

圧縮はI/O性能に影響を与える。圧縮率を50%削減したファイルサービスタイプのベンチマークテストでは、スループットが~5%低下することが示されています。環境への影響は、削減量、ストレージシステムのタイプ、システムの混雑度、およびこのセクションの冒頭で説明したその他の要因など、さまざまな要因によって異なります。ネットアップでは、本番環境に導入する前にラボ環境でテストし、環境への影響を十分に把握することを強く推奨しています。

圧縮ボリュームの読み取り性能

圧縮ボリュームからデータを読み取る場合、読み取り性能への影響は、アクセスパターン、ディスク上の圧縮節約量、システムリソースの混雑度によって異なります。読み取り性能への影響は、アクセスパターン、ディスク上の圧縮節約量、システムリソース(CPUとディスク (CPUとディスク)によって異なります。システムのCPU負荷を50%にしたサンプルテストでは、圧縮率50%のデータセットからの読み取りスループット からの読み取りスループットは25%低下した。一般的なシステムでは、その影響は システムに負荷がかかるため、一般的なシステムではそれ以上の影響が出る可能性があります。通常、最も影響が大きいのは、圧縮性の高いデータの少量のランダム 読み出しや、CPUビジーが50%以上のシステムで見られます。パフォーマンスへの影響は パフォーマンスへの影響は様々であるため、実運用に導入する前にテストする必要がある。

では、本番稼働後にInactive data compressionによりパフォーマンスの悪影響が顕在化した場合は、どのようにすれば良いでしょうか。

単純にInactive data compressionを無効化するだけでは、データブロックは解凍されず、圧縮されたままです。

そのような時は明示的にAuto adaptive compressionによる圧縮を解凍することで対応します。

いきなりまとめ

  • volume efficiency undo-auto-adaptive-compressionオプションを付与することで解凍可能
    • 事前にStorage Efficiencyも無効にする操作が必要
    • Inline compressionで圧縮されたものも解凍されてしまう
    • 解凍時に併せて重複排除によって削減したデータ量も元に戻るという動きはしない
  • 解凍の様子はvolume efficiency showから確認できる
  • Inactive data compression を有効にする際は、Storage EfficiencyのVolume doing auto adaptive compressiontrueである必要がある
    • compressionを有効にする際にtrueとなる
  • 検証した限り、aggregate上で解凍した結果が反映されるには、実際に圧縮が行われたかどうか問わずスキャンしたデータブロックに対して変更が行われたとき

検証環境準備

実際に確認してみます。

まず、検証環境の準備をします。

vol1というStorage EfficiencyもInactive data compressionも有効になっていないボリュームを用意しました。

volume efficiency show -volume vol1 -instanceの実行結果を確認するとVolume doing auto adaptive compressionfalseになっていました。

以下記事でInactive data compressionを有効化しているときはVolume doing auto adaptive compressiontrueになっていました。

volume efficiency modifyのオプションを確認しても、Volume doing auto adaptive compressionを変更するものは特にありませんでした。

Inline compressionを有効してみます。

::*> volume efficiency modify -volume vol1 -inline-compression true

Error: command failed: Failed to modify efficiency configuration for volume "vol1" of Vserver "svm": Enabling compression and disabling inline compression, or
       specifying the "-inline-compression" parameter when the "compression" parameter is not specified, are not supported for the volumes with auto adaptive
       compression.

::*> volume efficiency modify -volume vol1 -inline-compression true -compression true

svm     vol1   false       true               true                              false

Volume doing auto adaptive compressiontrueになりました。

また、Inline compressionを有効にする際は一緒にCompressionも指定する必要があるようです。なお、Compressionは有効にならないのは相変わらずです。

Inactive data compressionの状態を確認すると、有効化されていました。

::*> volume efficiency inactive-data-compression show -volume vol1

Inactive data compressionが効いたデータブロックの読み取り速度の確認

せっかくなので、Inactive data compressionが効いたデータブロックの読み取り速度の確認をします。

今回用意したFSxNファイルシステムのスループットキャパシティは128MBpsです。128MBpsのインメモリキャッシュ量は16GBです。

ということで16GiBのファイルを作成して、インメモリキャッシュ内のデータをすべて上書きします。なお、念のため2回16GiBのファイルを作成します。

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file_2 bs=1M count=16384
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
17179869184 bytes (17 GB, 16 GiB) copied, 114.308 s, 150 MB/s

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file_2 bs=1M count=16384
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
17179869184 bytes (17 GB, 16 GiB) copied, 114.134 s, 151 MB/s

念のため、NFSクライアントもOS再起動をしておきます。

OS再起動後に作成した4GiBのファイルを読み込みます。

$ sudo mount -t nfs svm-0efc8502c15912e44.fs-03f7b48fddc2252fc.fsx.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:/vol1 /mnt/fsxn/vol1

$ sudo dd if=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file of=/dev/null
8388608+0 records in
8388608+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 40.1662 s, 107 MB/s

読み取り速度は107MBpsでした。何回か繰り返しましたが、いずれも110MBps〜215MBpsほどでした。かなりブレ幅が大きいですね。

なお、インラインメモリキャッシュ内のデータを上書きしようとせずに、連続で読み取ると500MBpsほどの速度が出ました。速いですね。

$ sudo dd if=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file of=/dev/null
8388608+0 records in
8388608+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 8.74941 s, 491 MB/s

再度Auto adaptive compressionで削減されたデータ量を確認します。

Auto adaptive compressionのデータ削減量が3.98GBから4.27GBに増えていますね。

確認したところ、Inactive data compressionがバックグラウンドで動作はしていなかったので、増加分はInline compressionによるものだと推測します。

なお、ボリュームの重複排除量を確認すると、16GBとなっていました。

::*> volume show -volume vol1 -fields used, dedupe-space-saved

Progressが1時間以上前であることからポストプロセス重複排除によるデータ削減ではないことが分かります。

これは、インラインゼロブロック重複排除によるデータ削減です。インライン先のaggr show-efficiencyの結果を合わせて確認するとSpace Saved by Inline Zero Pattern Detection: 16GBとなっています。

インラインゼロブロック重複排除時にインメモリキャッシュが上書きされたのか不安になったので、今度は/dev/urandomで生成した18GiBのファイルを作成して上書きします。

Auto adaptive compressionが22.24GBと、書き込んだ18GiB分増えているように見えます。一方でSpace Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionは書き込み前と変わらず3.97GBです。

Inactive data compressionなどTSSEの圧縮処理はaggregateレイヤーで動作する仕組みです。aggregateからレポートされた内容をvolume show-footprintでボリューム単位にレポートする過程で不具合でも発生しているのでしょうか。

Auto adaptive compressionの解凍

Auto adaptive compressionの解凍

Auto adaptive compressionの解凍を行います。

volume efficiency undoのコマンドリファレンスを見ると、-auto-adaptive-compressionでできそうです。

[-c, -auto-adaptive-compression ] - Auto Adaptive Compression Undo the effects of auto adaptive compression.

volume efficiency undo

なお、「何KBで圧縮したものを解凍する」というオプションはありませんでした。

そのため、こちらの処理を実行すると8KBで圧縮するInline compressionにより、圧縮されたものも解凍されてしまいます。

それではAuto adaptive compressionの解凍を行います。

::*> volume efficiency undo -volume vol1 -auto-adaptive-compression true

Error: command failed: Failed to undo efficiency on volume "vol1" of Vserver "svm": Operation is not disabled.

失敗しました。

よくよくドキュメントを見てみると、こちらのコマンドを叩く際はStorage Efficinecyを無効にする必要があると記載がありました。

The command volume efficiency undo removes volume efficiency on a volume by undoing compression, undoing compaction and removing all the block sharing relationships, and cleaning up any volume efficiency specific data structures. Any efficiency operations on the volume must be disabled before issuing this command. The volume efficiency configuration is deleted when the undo process completes. The command is used to revert a volume to an earlier version of ONTAP where some of the efficiency features are not supported. During this revert not all efficiencies needs to be undone but only those gained by that particular feature (for example, compaction), which is not supported in the earlier version.

一方でSpace Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionは引き続き3.97GBを指しています。すぐさまaggregate上で解凍されないのでしょうか。

最初に解凍した時と全く同じ状況です。

volume show-footprintの結果からAuto Adaptive Compressionがなくなり、Effective Total Footprintも582.8MBから22.83GBに増加していました。そして、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionは引き続き3.97GBを指しています。

また、Total Physical Usedも18.63GBです。

本当に解凍されているのであれば、読み取り速度に変化があると考えられます。

また、データの読み書きなどを行った時に、解凍の状況が反映されるかもしれません。

Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionが0Bになっているではありませんか。またTotal Physical Usedも22.23GBと、ファイル作成前後と比較して4GB増えています。

このことから、実際に解凍した結果をレポートに反映するためには書き込みが必要そうであることが分かります。

読み込み速度も確認します。OSを再起動した上でInactive data compressionによって圧縮していたファイルを読み込みます。

$ sudo dd if=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file of=/dev/null

8388608+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 6.96954 s, 616 MB/s

616MBpsです。3倍ほど早くなっています。2回ほど一度同じように18GiBのファイルを作成してから、読み込むと585MBpsと563MBpsでした。

圧縮アルゴリズムを zstd に変更してみる

圧縮アルゴリズムを zstd に変更

先ほどのInactive data compressionのアルゴリズムはlzoproでした。

Inactive data compressionでは圧縮アルゴリズムにzstdを使用することも可能です。

せっかくなのでzstdで圧縮した時の速度も確認しておきます。

まず、Storage EfficiencyがTSSEとして動作するように変更して、Inactive data compressionを表示できるようにします。

zstd で圧縮したデータブロックの読み取り速度の確認

zstdで圧縮したデータブロックの読み取り速度の確認をします。

18GiBのファイルを書き込んでインメモリキャッシュを上書きします。

$ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/urandom_block_file bs=1M count=18432
18432+0 records in
18432+0 records out
19327352832 bytes (19 GB, 18 GiB) copied, 131.539 s, 147 MB/s

OSを再起動した上で、zstdで圧縮したデータブロックを読み取ります。

$ sudo dd if=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file of=/dev/null
8388608+0 records in
8388608+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 10.3734 s, 414 MB/s

414MBpsでした。解凍した時と比べて速度が落ちているような気がします。

もう一度同じように18GiBのファイルを作成してから、読み込むと553MBpsでした。

なかなか振れ幅が大きいですね。

lzopro で圧縮したデータブロックの読み取り速度を再度計測

解凍

lzopro で圧縮したデータブロックの読み取り速度を再度計測してみようと思います。

まず、一度解凍します。

Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionが0Bになりました。

上書きしたファイルのほとんどのデータブロックは実際には圧縮されていません。そのため、「aggregate上で解凍した結果が反映されるには、実際に圧縮が行われたかどうか問わずスキャンしたデータブロックに対して変更が行われたときである」と考えられます。

ただし、Total Physical Usedが19.94GBから32.48GBと12.5GB増加しているのは謎です。

lzopro で圧縮

またしても、解凍したにも関わらずAuto Adaptive Compressionが4.28GBとなっています。先ほどの同様の事象は偶然ではなさそうです。

Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionは0Bのままです。また、Total Physical Usedは23.02GBと9GBほど減少していました。一瞬32GBに増加していたのはなんだったのでしょうか。

約4GB圧縮されたことにより、aggregateの使用量が減っていることが分かります。

読み取り速度の計測

読み取り速度の計測をします。

18GiBのファイルを作成します。

$ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/urandom_block_file bs=1M count=18432
18432+0 records in
18432+0 records out
19327352832 bytes (19 GB, 18 GiB) copied, 132.034 s, 146 MB/s

OS再起動後、0埋めしたファイルを読み込みます。

$ sudo dd if=/mnt/fsxn/vol1/zero_block_file of=/dev/null
8388608+0 records in
8388608+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 9.94262 s, 432 MB/s

432MBpsでした。再度同じ手順で計測すると、586MBpsでした。振れ幅は大きいですが、0埋めしたファイルに対しての圧縮はzstdもlzoproも性能はあまり変わりないようです。

2024/1/15 追記 インラインコンパクションの効きづらいファイルで再チャレンジ

4GiBのテストファイルの作成

先の検証では0埋めされたファイルで試しました。

他の検証をする中で0ABCDEなど短いシンプルな文字列ではコンパクションが効いてしまうことが判明しています。

インラインコンパクションが効かないように今回は/dev/urandomで生成したバイナリデータをBase64でエンコードした1KBの文字列を指定したバイト数分繰り返すことでテストファイルを用意します。

新しくFSxNファイルシステムを用意しました。ファイル作成前のStorage Efficiency、ボリューム、aggregateの情報は以下のとおりです。

aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedが4.02GBから1.92GBに削減されました。

ただ、aggr showyphysical-usedは4.18GBから4.43GBとむしろ増加しています。どちらもaggregateレイヤーの情報をレポートするコマンドだと思うのですが、ズレが発生しているのはイマイチ理解できていません。

また、data-compaction-space-savedが3.82GBに増加しているのも気になります。こちらの項目はコンパクションによって削減されたデータサイズを表示していると認識しています。Inactive data compressionを実行して一緒に変動するのも理解できていません。Inactive data compressionを実行すると、圧縮されて小さくなったデータブロックをまとめるためにデータコンパクションが動作するのでしょうか。

今回はこのまま先に進みます。詳細は別途検証しようと思います。

aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedが1.92GBから2.26GBと若干増加しました。

一方で、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedは3.82GBのままです。

そして、aggr showphysical-usedは4.43GBから8.53GBと4.1GB増加しています。圧縮前よりも物理使用量が大きくなってしまっています。

今までの検証で私が理解できていないポイントをまとめます。

  1. Inactive data compressionを実行するとaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedも増加する
    • Inactive data compressionを実行すると、裏側でコンパクションも実行される?
  2. aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedaggr showphysical-usedが異なる
    • どちらもaggregateレイヤーの物理使用量を表示するものと認識しているが、実は違う?
  3. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedは変わらない?
    • Inactive data compressionを実行すると、裏側でコンパクションも実行されるのが正であり、ほとんどコンパクションによるデータ削減であるというのであれば納得
  4. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍すると、aggr showphysical-usedがInactive data compression実行前よりも増加する
    • 解凍プロセスで新規にデータブロックを書き込む必要があり、それが解放されない?
  5. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍すると、aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedは若干増加する
    • 4 のようにInactive data compression実行前よりも大きくなるということはないが、Inactive data compression実行前よりも物理使用量が小さい
    • 3 の仮説が正しく、Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもコンパクションによって削減された分は戻らないのであれば納得
  6. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍しても、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedの結果が変わらない
    • 3 の仮説が正しく、Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもコンパクションによって削減された分は戻らないのであれば納得するが、その場合解凍によって増加した300MBとは何だったのか疑問が残る
    • 300MB増加分がInactive data compressionの圧縮で削減されたデータ量であれば、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedは解凍することで300MB減るのが正しい挙動では?

コンパクションのundo

コンパクションによってデータ削減されているのであればコンパクションのundoをします。

特に変わりありません。

このことから以下が考えられます。

  • data-compaction-space-savedのデータはvolume efficiency undo -data-compaction trueでundoできない
  • data-compaction-space-savedとあるが、実はコンパクションによるデータ削減ではない

ちなみにvolume efficiency undo -volume vol1 -extended-auto-adaptive-compression trueを実行しても特に変わりありませんでした。

スキャンしなくてもundoだけでaggregateの物理消費量が減っていることが判明しました。

ただし、相変わらず値が異なるのは気になりますね。ちなみにCloudWatchメトリクスでStorageUsedを確認すると、58.4GBとどちらとも違う値を指していました。

StorageUsed

Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductiondata-compaction-space-savedはどちらも10.02GBです。4GiBの場合は全く変わらなかったので大きな変化です。

さらに17時間待つと、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductiondata-compaction-space-savedの値は0Bになっていました。コンパクションをundoすることで0Bになったのか、そのまま放置しても判断はつきませんがaggregtateレイヤーでのデータ削減効果を全て解放することができました。

今までの疑問点に追記すると、以下のようになります。

  1. Inactive data compressionを実行するとaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedも増加する
    • Inactive data compressionを実行すると、裏側でコンパクションも実行される?
    • -> 解凍後もSpace Saved by Aggregate Data Reductiondata-compaction-space-savedの値は常に一致することと、Auto adaptive compression解凍後に変動することからdata-compaction-space-savedはコンパクションのみの値ではないと推測
  2. aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedaggr showphysical-usedが異なる
    • どちらもaggregateレイヤーの物理使用量を表示するものと認識しているが、実は違う?
    • -> 追加検証でも判断付かず
  3. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedは変わらない?
    • Inactive data compressionを実行すると、裏側でコンパクションも実行されるのが正であり、ほとんどコンパクションによるデータ削減であるというのであれば納得
    • -> 52GiBで試した場合は解凍後に大きく変動したため一概には言えない
  4. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍すると、aggr showphysical-usedがInactive data compression実行前よりも増加する
    • 解凍プロセスで新規にデータブロックを書き込む必要があり、それが解放されない?
    • -> 52GiBで試した場合は減少したため一概には言えない
  5. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍すると、aggr show-efficiencyTotal Physical Usedは若干増加する
    • 4 のようにInactive data compression実行前よりも大きくなるということはないが、Inactive data compression実行前よりも物理使用量が小さい
    • 3 の仮説が正しく、Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもコンパクションによって削減された分は戻らないのであれば納得
    • -> 52GiBで試した場合も同様の挙動
  6. Auto adaptive compressionを解凍しても、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedの結果が変わらない
    • 3 の仮説が正しく、Auto adaptive compressionを解凍してもコンパクションによって削減された分は戻らないのであれば納得するが、その場合解凍によって増加した300MBとは何だったのか疑問が残る
    • 300MB増加分がInactive data compressionの圧縮で削減されたデータ量であれば、Space Saved by Aggregate Data Reductionaggr showdata-compaction-space-savedは解凍することで300MB減るのが正しい挙動では?
    • -> 52GiBで試した場合は大きく変動した

ポイントとしてはInactive data compression後にコンパクションがかかるのかどうか次第だと考えます。

2024/4/17 追記 : フィードバックにより以下KBが追加されました。結論としては、Inactive data compression実行後にコンパクションが動作します。また、Inactive data compressionによるデータ削減量も含めてコンパクションによるデータ削減量として計算されます。

Execution of inactive data compression increases data compaction savings as well

Applies to

Amazon FSx for Netapp ONTAP

Answer

  • Data Compaction increases because compression savings are considered in data compaction savings.
  • Compaction runs followed by compression.

Additional Information

Output reference :

  • Before executing inactive data compression :
FsxId*> aggr show -fields data-compaction-space-saved, sis-space-saved
aggregate data-compaction-space-saved sis-space-saved
--------- --------------------------- ---------------
aggr1     1.51GB                      1.51GB
  • After executing inactive data compression :
FsxId*> volume efficiency inactive-data-compression start -volume vol2 -inactive-days 0

FsxId*> aggr show -fields data-compaction-space-saved, sis-space-saved
aggregate data-compaction-space-saved sis-space-saved
--------- --------------------------- ---------------
aggr1     1.87GB                      1.87GB

TSSEによるインライン圧縮も解凍されてしまうため注意が必要

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAPのInactive data compressionによる圧縮を解凍してみました。

解凍(undo)自体は非常に簡単に行えますが、TSSEによるインライン圧縮も解凍されてしまうため注意が必要ですね。

一度解凍したデータブロックを後から8KBで圧縮をし直すのはなかなか大変そうです。

この記事が誰かの助けになれば幸いです。
