Hi all,

I read an article in the German 'Linux Magazin' 11/04 about a
comparision of the different FS. They tested Ext2, Ext3, JFS, XFS,
ReiserFS, Reiser4 and Veritas. Detailed results can be found on
http://www.linux-magazin.de/Service/Listings/2004/11/fs_bench.

My question is: Why is the reading performance of every FS (available
for both Linux versions) under 2.6 so bad compared to 2.4? 2.6 looses
nearly 50%!

The write performance is depending on the file size sometimes slightly
higher or lower.

Can you tell me in short words what changed from 2.4 to 2.6 that
explains the difference?

I thought that every major kernel release makes things better. So what
is now so much better that is worth to loose 50% performance?

Regards

Michael
