So far, ext2 are among the -fastest- fs you can use in a linux machine. The numbers for this are throughput based, and the tests where xfs actually do match up in comparsion are file-rewrite. If you want some more numbers, I'd suggest the 2.6 filesystem shootout : http://fsbench.netnation.com/ > > Ext2 is so badly designed that although we know that journalling file > systems have additional overhead that non journalling filesystem, but > although ext2 is a non journalling file system, it cant even match up > to journalling file systems like reiserfs or XFS. Give me numbers to back this up, along with a detailed sequent of what inside ext2 is "badly designed". I seriously get miffed when a sparkleeyed greentoe comes and bashes things without real data to back up, following with loud badmouthing and nefartiously explaining that the benchmarks in all cases are wrong. *cough* //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
