Linux File System Shootout
IpSo_ writes "Finally an extensive, human readable Linux file system benchmark has been unleashed upon us. Originally posted on the Linux Kernel mailing list, using two of the most popular benchmarking tools available, it compares all the major file systems, including their different mount options. The results are surprising."
I am sorry..all I see are numbers floating around. Does someone have a "human readable" summary of this ?
My mom never taught me to sign.
NTFS has been removed of the benchmark results because it was the best performer in every test!
SCO has never claimed to own JFS. But then again, tomorrow's an entirely new business day, and there's a whole million lines of code that SCO hasn't yet lay claim to. ...is anyone else afraid that SCO will try to use Quantum Mechanical principles to gain ownership of the entire Linux kernel? Now, I am not a quantum physicist, but if they don't show which 50% they claim to own, won't the system be in an undetermined state? Wouldn't that mean that SCO could own both halves of the kernel at the same time?
Perhaps SCO has only lay claim to one line? This would account for the manner in which the number of lines claimed has grown from 80 to a million. This can be explained through the uncertainty principle, and compound error. The one line in question has not been determined, but has a probability of being located within certain files.
Could someone with a better grasp of mathematics please aid in identifying the SCO constant of ownership uncertainty?
Wow, it looks like SCO has the best filesystems for Linux with JFS and XFS.
Is that "layman's" or "lamer's"?
Really, those pesky filesystems just get in the way. Just cat file >>/dev/hda and be done with it.
