Re: New Linux xfs/reiser file systems

Hello !
I am forwarding the following from lkml

It seems that the only case when XFS is slow is the 'rm -rf linux' 
[which can be considered as a good sign for linux]. For all other 
operation XFS is the winner.

You can find a simple benchmark (an average of three samples) among reiser,
ext2, xfs and fat32 under Linux:

Although is Spanish, the tables are easy to understand.

The benchmark was carried up by Guillem Cantallops, student of the
University of Balearics Islands and member or the local LUG...
