XFS, JFS and ZFS/FUSE Benchmarks on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

Posted on March 25, 2007 by Chris Samuel

Having upgraded to the Feisty beta I thought it would be fun to see what (if any) affect it had on filesystem performance (especially given my previous aide memoir). For these tests I stuck to my 3 favourites, JFS (from … Continue reading →
