Benchmarking Linux Filesystems Part II

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 6, 2006 @05:34AM from the some-of-this-content-may-be-inappropriate-for-young-readers dept.

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.

Yeah, right, they're lying to you. Those evil anti-reiser zealots. They only provided 40 graphs of various benchmarks, and only 80% of those scale up from 0. Its so obvious how biased these results are against ReiserV4. Its so full of lies I bet Microsoft funded this benchmark.
