“We’re using the same benchmark from the last article and
applying it to additional Linux file systems – xfs, jfs, reiserfs,
ext2, and resier4. As you are probably aware there are a large
number of file systems available in Linux from some fairly old ones
such as ext2, to some that are still considered “experimental” in
the latest kernel (2.6.30 as of this writing) such as btrfs and
nilfs2. But these other file systems, ext2, xfs, jfs, reiserfs are
still in production use in a number of places. Consequently this
article performs the same benchmarks as the previous article on
these additional file systems. It also adds in reiser4 which,
believe it or not, is still moving ahead thanks to the
determination of some of the developers.”
