Real-World Benchmarks of Ext4 249
Ashmash writes "Phoronix has put out a fresh series of benchmarks that show the real world performance of the Ext4 file-system. They ran 19 tests on Fedora 10 with changing out their primary partition to test Ext3, Ext4, Xfs, and ReiserFS. The Linux 2.6.27 kernel was used with the latest file-system support. In the disk benchmarks like Bonnie++ Ext4 was a clear winner but with the real world tests the results were much tighter and Xfs also possessed many wins. They conclude though that Ext4 is a nice upgrade over Ext3 due to the new features and just not improved performance in a few areas, but its lifespan may be short with btrfs coming soon."

better filesystem?
I was being facetious, but I may actually be correct.

My prediction for what its worth is that ext4 will be around for a LONG time.
Like... how long? Longer than it takes to fsck an 80GB ext2 filesystem? Because that's a pretty long time.

See, I already thought of that, so I run no fewer than 5 generations behind.
I started at 1, but realized that soon this practice would become widespread and then I'd be back to being an early adopter. So I moved to 2 generations. But then a friend agreed with my plan and I saw that in not too very long I'd be an early adopter again with my 2 gen old system. Not this time! I skipped the 3 and 4 generation delay and went right to the 5 generation wait time. I figured it was the only way to be sure I wouldn't get hit by any bugs.
Shoot, now the secret's out. Time to roll back my filesystem again.

I'd guess the next release of ReiserFS is 25 years to life down the road, actually.

When you want to go with something that leaves the others dead, go with ReiserFS. It's been proven in court to be 100% effective !!
And it can retrieve data you thought lost forever, even dead bodies !!
