Kernel and filesystem talks at OLS day two
,----[ Quote ]
| Mathur asked why not XFS or an entirely new filesystem? Largely, she
| explained, because of the large existing Ext3 community. They would be able
| to maintain backward compatibility and upgrade from Ext3 to Ext4 without the
| lengthly backup/restore process generally required to change filesystems. The
| XFS codebase, she says, is larger than Ext3's. A smaller codebase would be
| better.

| Included as well are early experimental components such as the EXT4
| file system, which is an evolution of the currently popular EXT3
| file system.

First benchmarks of the ext4 file system
,----[ Quote ]
| The ext4 file system promises improved data integrity
| and performance, together with less limitations, and is
| definitely the step in the right way. Even if there are
| some regressions in our measurements, when compared to
| ext3, they're quite small and no doubt will be fixed
| before the development is finished. On the other hand,
| under some workloads ext4 is already showing much better
| results.
