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."

    Samba.

    How well a filesystem does on its own is great. How well it works and plays with others is more important.

    The page has some weird problem. Clicking the link in IE6 triggered a question whether I want to open "fsbench.netnation(1)" directly, or save it to the disk. Same result when typing the uri manually to address bar.

    No similar problems with Mozilla Firebird, though...

    the difference with executable trojans is you that you can look inside scripts.

  10. A true story, relevant for all of us: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We all just sit there, plugged into our terminals, unresponsive to the outside world. Carefully, gradually, and enormously wasting away the seconds and days until our appointments are well overdue and that primal reaction of fear or embarrasement hints at stepping in to to try to restore some sense of "responsibility." We are the internet generation; we're addicted to it like life itself. Days and nights and time itself mean nothing in comparison to the steady tempo of idle news, uninformed rants or a hop to the next pseudo-intellectual diversion. Chain-smokers and mental-masturbators, we let useful work-days sacrifice themselves just for a few more minutes of pure mediocre ecstacy. 11..12..1:30..3... now there's a choice, sleep or stay up? If I sleep, I will ignore tomorrow's call until it's too late; then I'll just ignore tomorrow as a whole, and pretend it never happened. But if I stay up will I be a living zombie? Will the net only tighten its grip? We trudge on thusly, knowing in our hearts that we're better than it all. But we're addicted. Just what will you do?

    I prefer to judge people by the quality of their debate rather than their spelling? I met plenty of fools who can spell and plenty of intelligent people who can't spell to save their lives. Ever heard of dyslexia? Would you go up to someone in a wheel chair and deride him or her for being unable to walk?

    You're a wanker.
