Title: Testing Out Linux File-Systems On A USB Flash Drive ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "In past articles we have delivered plenty of file-system

benchmarks from testing out EXT4 to Btrfs to NILFS2. We have also

delivered benchmarks from traditional hard drives to solid-state drives.

One area though where we have not published any file-system benchmarks

is for USB flash drives. Most users end up staying with the default

FAT32 file-system for flash drives, but are there any performance

advantages to using EXT3, EXT4, XFS, Btrfs, or ReiserFS? We have the

benchmarks today to share atop the latest Linux 2.6.32 kernel build."
