The site Phoronix has many comparisons against different use cases. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-50-filesystems&num=1 Linux 5.0 File-System Benchmarks: Btrfs vs. EXT4 vs. F2FS vs. XFS For whatever reason he's no longer testing ReiserFS or JFS. Perhaps try back-issues Those test show that in general Et4 is a good choice overall and BtrFS still has a lot of performance problems related to its CoW policy. What? You're not running Linux 5? # uname -r 5.6.14-1.gb0ab48a-default HOWEVER FASTEST IS NOT THE SOLE CRITERIA ON WHICH TO BASE A CHOICE OF FILE SYSTEM The greatest argument in favour of BtrFS is not it's speed but its ability to 'benchmark' and roll back in the same way that many mainframes do. (Yes, I know, Ext4 has some hooks that one day might permit that, but if it goes that way it will also need to use Cow and that might also impact its performance.) -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
