Drive-Managed Shingled Magentic Recording (SMR) disks offer a higher capacity alternative to traditional disk drives. However, non-sequential workloads can show bi-modal behaviour. After a short period of high performance they enter a continuous period of low performance. We were able to make a small change (600 LOC) to ext4 that significantly improves the throughput in both modes, resulting in 2-13x improvements on metadata-heavy workloads, and 1.7-4.9x improvements on a file server benchmark. The changes also resulted in performance improvements on conventional disk drives.
