For all of you who want to improve your Linux security,
stability and performance, Dr. Ricardo Galli, member of UIB – Balearic Islands University (Spain)
and President of Bulma (the lug
at Balearic Islands) has written an article called
“Journal
File Systems in Linux“
“This is a lightly modified version of a couple of articles
published in Novática (Spanish) and Upgrade (English) where
we explain the implementation of all journaling file systems
available for Linux.”
Ricardo Galli includes, in a plain manner, basics,
characteristics and implementation of the Linux Virtual File
System, Linux Page-cache and Buffer-cache, integration of page and
buffer cache, journaling file systems, B-Trees, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS,
Ext3, performance and conclusions, including several links to
resources and benchmarks.
A Spanish
version of the document is also available.
