Linux File System Shootout

Posted by simoniker on from the bang-bang-it's dept.

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 used to run Linux on a modest P133, which used to take 3 hours to do an fsck. It was running the new ext2fs not the old ext3 crap. This is typical Linux, because the coders think they know it all they cant write it properly and make it slow on everybodys hardware but there own. They are elitist.

    In fact what about the stupid rumor that Linux will run faster if you compile it yourself, but you all run the same gcc which will do the exact same thing!

    Where is your logic? Oh wait, if you had that you would just use UFS or even write proper NTFS support.

    Linux developers are smart, but modest about there own skill, they say "oh look what I can do, blah blah blah".

    Actually USING Redhat is what made me sort around for another distro. -Two major versions in a very short period of time that were largely incompatible when using third party software -Internally inconsistent administration tools that aren't available in text-mode only linux. (Why install X11 on an IDS sensor?) That say they do someing then don't. (Wireless network configuration.) -really borked package management. Yeah, you can _add_ apt-get to Redhat, but you get some oddities case it's added on. I'm really glad you made your decision for you and the people you support. I don't have access to you and have found that I got a heck of a lot further on my own with Suse. The other thing that REALLY bugs me is: resier isn't available on BSD. So I either have to learn two different distros (linux and bsd based) for internal and external use, or use something externally that has a much worse track record (NetBSD is nice and safe in the wild/ linux is very popular and 'more hackable')
