Hi,
I re-ran some FFSB tests on ext3, ext4 and xfs filesystems, on a
2.6.22-rc5 kernel and with the latest ext4-git-tree (update of June 26).

The results are available here:

Regards,
Val?rie

Hi!
IMHO this test is not 100% correct.
ext3 | data=writeback
ext4 | data=writeback,extents,delalloc
xfs | defaults is ordered !

So you have compared ext's in writeback (which fastest mode) vs xfs in ordered.

Actually xfs's default (only) mode is more like writeback than ordered.
So that's a fair comparison. I bet it is xfs's barriers that hurt
it, though - while they are pretty much required on a single disk with a
volatile write cache, I think xfs's barrier implementation hurts it more
than barriers for ext*

An update of the Iozone test is also avialable:
