I want to write upto 8000 records into spiffs when there is no wifi and send the data when it connects to wifi.
I have allocated 2 MB to SPIFSS, each record will be max of 256 bytes, it should support around 8192 records according to my calculations.
I am creating a new file for each record like spiffs/1, spiffs/2, spiffs/3 etc... then when it connects i am sending the data from 1, 2, 3 and so on.
The problem is the spiffs files are using up much more space than what is required.
For example a 24 52byte files are using 12048 bytes. That comes out to 502 bytes for each file.
I am only able to write around 4000 files to spiffs folder each containing ~52 bytes before the space runs out.
Is there some mistake I am making? Also if there is a better way to do it?
I am using this to save the GPS co-ordinates while I move around and when I come home it should upload the data to the server.
I am using the standard 4MB ESP32 device.
sppiffs using up a lot of space
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
What is your config SPIFFS_PAGE_SIZE?
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
Currently using default settings
SPIFFS_PAGE_SIZE = 256
SPIFFS_OBJ_NAME_LEN = 32
SPIFFS_MAX_PARTITIONS = 3
SPIFFS_CACHE enabled
SPIFFS_CACHE_WR enabled
SPIFFS_PAGE_SIZE = 256
SPIFFS_OBJ_NAME_LEN = 32
SPIFFS_MAX_PARTITIONS = 3
SPIFFS_CACHE enabled
SPIFFS_CACHE_WR enabled
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
https://github.com/pellepl/spiffs/blob/ ... C#L58-L123Hence, if a file is created being one byte big, it will occupy one page for index and one page for data - it will occupy 2 x size of a logical page on flash.
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
Why not use 1 file for all the records to maximise space efficiency?
Decide on your maximum record size.
Block in file is Length (4 bytes) + max size.
Seek to record position (n x (4 + max Size)
Read or write length + data

Will try this method as well.bobtidey wrote: Why not use 1 file for all the records to maximise space efficiency?

Tried to put sixty records in a file and it worked ok. I am able to get upto six thousand records of 256 bytes each in 2 MB memory. I think there is a maximum file size for spiffs after 100 records the write to file gets slow still investigating.
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
Please try this code.
main.c:
partitions.csv:
Complete Logs: Warning Heavy:
Doesn't work for more than ~5200 records of 256 bytes each.
Default settings for spiffs. Also note time taken to write one record and used space.

Default settings for spiffs. Also note time taken to write one record and used space.
Re: sppiffs using up a lot of space
There does seem to be an issue with SPIFFS slowing down appending onto large files and ultimately failing.
So maybe the thing to do is to have a series of files each capable of holding say 256 records. Indexing would still be pretty straightforward as the high byte of the index would select the file and the low byte the position within the file.
That way you would get the benefit of efficient storage and still keep the speed and reliability up.

Changing to 256 records per file with multiple smaller files doesn't do much. There seems to be a hard limit as discussed in the github thread linked by WiFive where manually writing to a 2 MB partition showsWiFive wrote: https://github.com/pellepl/spiffs/issue ... t-94305664

I will leave this here for someone trying something similar. To get good spiffs performance settle with using around half the storage spiffs has been allocated, or look into different options. For example if you plan to use 1MB then allocate 2MB. After 1MB of data has been written the performance seems to degrade. Source: timestamp log attached in my previous comment.
Currently testing writing directly to flash as suggested in this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5070.
