  1. Benchmarking Linux Filesystems Part II

    Linux · Storage · · posted by Zonk · from the some-of-this-content-may-be-inappropriate-for-young-readers dept. · 255 comments
    Anonymous Coward writes "Linux Gazette has a new filesystem benchmarking article, this time using the 2.6 kernel and showing ReiserFS v4. The second round of benchmarks include both the metrics from the first filesystem benchmark and the second in two matrices." From the article: "Instead of a Western Digital 250GB and Promise ATA/100 controller, I am now using a Seagate 400GB and Maxtor ATA/133 Promise controller. The physical machine remains the same, there is an additional 664MB of swap and I am now running Debian Etch. In the previous article, I was running Slackware 9.1 with custom compiled filesystem utilities. I've added a small section in the beginning that shows the filesystem creation and mount time, I've also added a graph showing these new benchmarks." We reported on the original benchmarks in the first half of last year.

  4. Journalling File System Comparison

    Ithika writes "Justin Piszcz recently did an analysis of some common journaling file systems over at Linux Gazette. Due to the Gazette's ridiculous restrictions on image filesize all of the graphs are pretty much illegible, however. You can see the article as the author originally intended here."

    An anonymous reader writes "To update an earlier story about the pending battle between SSC and LinuxGazette.net, it seems SSC has taken to officially asserting a trademark on the term 'Linux Gazette' and is asking them to relinquish the domain name. Interesting to note that LinuxGazette.net has issue 97 out, while SSC doesn't."
