Re: [basex-talk] REST API performance, massive disk IO

Hi Björn, which Docker storage driver are you using? In my own experiments, I recently realized BaseX does not play very well with copy-on-write, resulting in heavy fragmentation. If you're using BTRFS or ZFS, you should definitely make sure to disable copy on write for the BaseX database when performing frequent updates. I have not verified whether BTRFS' autodefrag option improves this. This is not a Docker issue, but one with the file systems (databases need tuning for those kinds of file systems in general).
