The MTU of the Ethernet data layer? As that would make more sense, there the most common (but not guaranteed) MTU is indeed 1500. TCP can send more data per packet just fine if the MTU of the underlying (ethernet) network is bigger, like the often used MTU of 9000 in LANs. Note also that the actual file size that can be transmitted in one packet would need to factor in IP, TCP and HTTP overhead though. For IPv4 you'd use 16 byte for the IP and 24 bytes for the TCP part of the packet, so it'd be 1460 bytes, the HTTP header isn't as deterministic and for IPv6 it's more overhead eating away the possible payload size. That alls said, we could still use the 1500 as cut-off, nothing inherently against that per se, but the comment should not refer to the confusing TCP MTU and mention that the boundary depends. For finding a cutoff we could look at file distribution size of task log in existing (non-test) instances, e.g. with: find /var/log/pve/tasks/ -mindepth 2 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l | awk '{size[int(log($5)/log(2))]++}END{for (i in size) printf("%10d %3d\n", 2^i, size[i])}' | sort -n For three relatively active and long lived host this gives: Size A B C 1 8 567 669 121 16 3 28 32 40 106 6 64 60 23 128 63 28 256 22 25 8 512 8 12 4 1024 8 32 40 2048 2 12 17 4096 5 1 8192 14 1 695 16384 18 1 32768 24 I then compressed all files with gzip and reran: 32 1 64 596 128 154 256 14 512 13 1024 4 2048 14 4096 18 8192 24 32 1 64 784 128 74 256 38 512 41 1024 2 4096 1 8192 1 So, I'd just use 1024 as cut-off, that isn't bound to such dynamic limits like TCP actual payload per single package size, but will still fit in most and even captures most of the previously selected files in practice anyway. Also gzip is normally able to compress text quite well so doing that with log (i.e., not random data) text files bigger than 1KiB will almost never over the uncompressed limit. If you rather like a higher size you can also use 2 or 4 KiB, both fine too IMO. > + my $use_compression = stat($filename)->size > 1500; should be able to use: -s $filename > X > + return PVE::Tools::stream_file($filename, $param->{upid}, $use_compression); IMO the helper isn't to useful, I'd just do this inline. > + } else { no else required, other branch returns. > + my ($count, $lines) = PVE::Tools::dump_logfile($filename, $start, $limit); > > - $rpcenv->set_result_attrib('total', $count); > + $rpcenv->set_result_attrib('total', $count); > > - return $lines; > + return $lines; > + } > }}); > >
