I was reading the article 'Behind the ALTIX 3000' in the Feb. 2003 Linux Journal, and it mentioned the following paper which compares Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, and JFS: Filesystem Performance and Scalability in Linux 2.4.17 Originally published in Proceedings of the FREENIX Track: 2002 USENIX Annual Technical Conference http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/papers/filesystem-perf-tm.pdf Quoting the abtract: Although the best-performing filesystem varies depending on the benchmark and system used, some larger trends are evident in the data. On the smaller systems, the best-performing file system is often Ext2, Ext3 or ReiserFS. For the larger systems and higher loads, XFS can provide the best overall performance.
