F2FS Linux File-System Benchmarks

Benchmarks of the new F2FS (Flash Friendly File-System) being introduced in the mainline Linux 3.8 kernel. Benchmarks by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com looking initially at F2FS performance compared to Btrfs, EXT4, and other Linux file-systems.
