Title: Real World Benchmarks Of The EXT4 File-System ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "With the EXT4 file-system being marked as stable in the

forthcoming Linux 2.6.28 kernel, and some Linux distributions

potentially switching to it as an interim step until the btrfs

file-system is ready, we decided it was time to benchmark this journaled

file-system for ourselves. We ran a number of disk-centric Linux

benchmarks along with several of our real-world tests from the Phoronix

Test Suite to gauge how well the EXT4 file-system performance will be

noticed by desktop users and computer gamers. We have compared these

EXT4 results to the EXT3, XFS, and ReiserFS file-systems."
