New Ext3 vs ReiserFS benchmarks

An anonymous reader writes "Saw this new benchmark on the linux-kernel mailing list. Although NAMESYS, the developers of ReiserFS has many benchmarks on their site, they only have one Ext3 benchmark. The new benchmark tests Ext3 in ordered and writeback mode versus ReiserFS with and without the notail mount option. Better than expected results for Ext3. Big difference between ordered and writeback modes."

I'm spoiled

I know that I'm stupid for saying this, but after the past few years, a benchmark isn't sexy unless it has scenes of flying dragons or a copied scene from the Matrix on the screen. I must have sold my soul to the devil for saying that.

Slashdot cut off my comment!

Awww, and here I thought you were trying to give an example of what the ReiserFS did to your data during a hash collision.

Re:Can you document that?

[RockyMountain]

to informative information.

Informative information? I really ought to use "Preview" before "Submit".

Your bong had a hash collision

[gregor_b_dramkin]

... that's why you lost your data. It annoys me to no end when people assume a cause for a problem and begin to state it as fact without verification or fact.

Is it possible that there is a bug in reiserfs? Sure. I just don't trust anecdotal evidence from some dood on /.

Re:ext3 writeback vs ext2?

[Wesley Felter]

So what's the point of running ext2 if it's exactly equivalent to ext3/writeback but with very slow fsck?
