Btrfs vs. EXT4 vs. XFS vs. F2FS On Linux 3.10: Building upon our F2FS file-system benchmarks from earlier in this week is a large comparison of four of the leading Linux file-systems at the moment: Btrfs, EXT4, XFS, and F2FS. With the four Linux kernel file-systems, each was benchmarked on the Linux 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10-rc1 kernels.

ZFS vs. EXT4 On Linux Multi-Disk RAID Benchmarks: When dealing with multi-disk configurations and RAID, the ZFS file-system on Linux can begin to outperform EXT4 at least in some configurations...

Benchmarks Of The New ZFS On Linux: EXT4 Wins: At the end of March was a new release of ZFS On Linux, a kernel module implementation of the ZFS file-system for Linux, and it was declared ZFS On Linux is now ready for wide-scale deployments. With this release (ZOL/SPL v0.6.1), new benchmarks are being done to compare ZFS to popular Linux file-systems.

Tuning Btrfs vs. F2FS, EXT4, XFS File-Systems: When earlier this week delivering Btrfs benchmarks with various mount options for tuning the next-generation Linux file-system, some Linux users were hoping to see other file-systems tossed into the test mix too for reference. Here's those numbers...

Another EXT4 Corruption Bug Gets Fixed: A few months back there was an EXT4 file-system corruption bug that impacted stable Linux kernel releases and was widely-covered. Today, another EXT4 file-system bug was corrected within the mainline Linux kernel...

EXT4 File-System Updated For Linux 3.9: The EXT4 file-system in the forthcoming Linux 3.9 kernel will support using the previously-introduced punch hole functionality for inodes not using extent maps...

F2FS File-System Shows Hope, Runs Against Btrfs & EXT4: Being released soon is the Linux 3.8 kernel and one of its many new features is the introduction of the F2FS file-system. The "Flash-Friendly File-System" was developed by Samsung and is showing promise as a new Linux file-system designed around the characteristics of flash-based storage devices.

EXT4 Still Leads Over Btrfs File-System On Linux 3.8: With the final release of the Linux 3.8 kernel coming in the very near future, here are file-system benchmarks of EXT4 and Btrfs on the Linux 3.8 development code compared to recent Linux kernel releases.

Tux3 Comes Back To Life, Brings Competition To EXT4: It's been a few years since last having anything to talk about with regard to the Tux3 file-system, but with the new year comes news on Tux3. This file-system has advanced and is more competitive now with EXT4...

EXT4 In Linux 3.8 Brings Inline Data, Seek Hole/Data: The EXT4 file-system pull request for the Linux 3.8 kernel has been submitted and it's bringing fixes plus introduces two new features...

Linux 3.7 File-System Benchmarks: EXT4, Btrfs, XFS: In this article are benchmarks of the latest Linux 3.7 kernel development code of the EXT4, XFS, and Btrfs file-systems.

EXT4 File-System Tuning Benchmarks: Following last month's Btrfs file-system tuning benchmarks, in this article are a similar set of tests when stressing the EXT4 file-system with its various performance-related mount options. Here are a number of EXT4 benchmarks from Ubuntu 12.10 with different mount option configurations.
