工作中遇到一个性能瓶颈问题，发现KVM中环境Guest为RHEL5.5时，IO性能比RHEL6.3差很多，于是着手研究性能差距的原因。由于操作系统版本不一样，所以重点考虑的是内核与文件系统，通过升级内核对比试验，发现性能差距不大，但是ext3升级为ext4的时候性能明显提升很多。

考虑到qcow2文件格式可能对性能的影响，所以分别额外采用了raw格式做对比试验。下面是测试结果对比：

RAW + ext3：

针对qcow2格式测试结果如下：（为了尽量环境公平，cp a.qcow2 -> b.qcow2 ; b.qcow2 升级到ext4，然后再做比对试验）

从对比可以发现，不管哪种文件格式，读写性能ext4都比ext3有很大幅度的提升。

之后面临的问题就是如何将线上的rhel5.5无损的从ext3升级到ext4。我拿了一台虚拟机做实验，步骤如下：

1. 检查所需要的软件包，尽量为最新版本：

yum install -y upgrade mkinitrd e2fsprogs 
yum update -y upgrade mkinitrd e2fsprogs

2. 备份fstab，以防万一

cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak

3. 将ext3全部换成ext4

sed -i "s/ext3/ext4/g" /etc/fstab

4. 备份系统initrd，重新生成新的。因为centos5.5默认不加载ext4，所以要主动 --with=ext4

mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.bak

mkinitrd -v --with=ext4 /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`

5. 拿到非跟文件系统的ext4分区：

[root@localhost ~]# grep  -v -w / /etc/fstab |grep ext4|awk '{print $2}'
/boot
/home

6. 查到5中对应的设备：

[root@localhost ~]# df -h|egrep "boot|home"
/dev/sda1             485M   67M  393M  15% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home
                      394G   23G  352G   6% /home

umount /home

umount /boot

7. 增加ext4的特性支持：

tune4fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,flex_bg -m 1 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home
tune4fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,flex_bg -m 1 /dev/sda1

8. 检查文件系统是否有错误，自动修复

fsck -vfyDC0 /dev/sda1
fsck -vfyDC0 /dev/mapper/VOlGroup-lv_home

9, 重启系统，检查是否ext4已经生效

[root@localhost ~]# mount -l
/dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/vda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw) [/boot1]
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
