Benchmarking Linux Filesystems Part II

Anonymous Coward writes "Linux Gazette has a new filesystem benchmarking article, this time using the 2.6 kernel and showing ReiserFS v4. The second round of benchmarks include both the metrics from the first filesystem benchmark and the second in two matrices." From the article: "Instead of a Western Digital 250GB and Promise ATA/100 controller, I am now using a Seagate 400GB and Maxtor ATA/133 Promise controller. The physical machine remains the same, there is an additional 664MB of swap and I am now running Debian Etch. In the previous article, I was running Slackware 9.1 with custom compiled filesystem utilities. I've added a small section in the beginning that shows the filesystem creation and mount time, I've also added a graph showing these new benchmarks." We reported on the original benchmarks in the first half of last year.

pretty dry, except...

wow, what a dry article.

However, scroll to the bottom. More latin translations than you can shake a stick at, including my personal favorite:

I have a terrible hangover.
    Crapulam terriblem habeo.

Part III

[renrutal]

Part III of the test should feature the filesystem behaviour during a Slashdot Effect.

I must say the filesystem they're trying in the current effect is really failing. No pages served booh!

Slow filesystem?

Wow. They must have a super slow file system if they are just now getting the results of the tests and the first half of the article ran in the first half of last year! :) This is supposed to be funny by the way.
