Hi Peter, You say that the results may be accurate, but not relevant.
.-------------------------. | FILESYSTEM | TIME |DISK | | TYPE |(secs)|USAGE| .-------------------------. |REISER4 lzo | 1938 | 278 | |REISER4 gzip| 2295 | 213 | |REISER4 | 3462 | 692 | |EXT2 | 4092 | 816 | |JFS | 4225 | 806 | |EXT4 | 4408 | 816 | |EXT3 | 4421 | 816 | |XFS | 4625 | 779 | |REISER3 | 6178 | 793 | |FAT32 |12342 | 988 | |NTFS-3g |10414 | 772 | .-------------------------. If they are accurate,.... THEN they are obviously very relevant. Trying to follow http://linuxhelp.150m.com/resources/fs-benchmarks.htm I have set up a Reiser4 partition with gzip compression, here is the difference in disk usage of a typical Debian installation on two 10GB partitions, one with Reiser3 and the other with Reiser4. debian:/# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 10490104 6379164 4110940 61% /3 /dev/sda7 9967960 2632488 7335472 27% /7 Partitions 3 and 7 have exactly the same data on them (the typical Debian install). The partitions are exactly the same size (although df records different sizes). Partition 3 is Reiser3 -- uses 6.4 GB. Partition 7 is Reiser4 -- uses 2.6 GB. So Reiser4 uses 2.6 GB to store the (typical) data that it takes Reiser3 6.4 GB to store (note it would take ext2/3/4 some 7 GB to store the same info). This seems very relevant to me. John.
