my ubunutu system has fuseblk filesystem, would it go faster if I changed it to EXT4?

[Brian Tarbox]

I got some new ubuntu servers to add to my cluster and found that the file
system is fuseblk which really means NTFS.

All else being equal would I expect to get any performance boost if I
converted the file system to EXT4?  Edward Capriolo's Cookbook book seems
to suggest so.

Thanks.

Yes. Any fuse filesystem is going to be substantially slower than a massive
one like ext4.
