btrfs is toasted for archival nodes: latest erigon cannot keep up with mainnet on 2xRAID0 SN850X (100k/30k r/w IOPS) NVMes

... moving to LVM managed XFS

Let me know how it goes! I tried bcachefs like two years ago, but it struggled with big files on foreground pool. However, I assume a lot changed towards better with the kernel merge.

I am currently syncing mainnet on a  bcachefs pool, hdd's with a nvme read/write cache. Will be fun to see if it manages to stay in sync 😅 the savings from background compression seem significant

No -- not a fan of locking the kernel to a certain release. Supposedly, the culprit is the added baggage in CoW filesystems. Better to cherry-pick the features with LVM.

Going to also try adding a RAM cache in front of the NVMEs using LVM to see if its just erigon.

I know its an archival node but game is hard.

You are not wrong, it does not have to be hard. Just don't run erigon or at least prune it would be my current suggestion. However it might be a surprise that running an archival node and staking are two different things.
