Filesystems: Data Preservation, fsync, and Benchmarks Pt. 2
,----[ Quote ]
| The benchmarks were run on a P35 motherboard equipped with 8GB of 800MHz DDR2
| and an Intel Q6600 2.4 GHz quad core CPU. The disk was a Samsung HD642JJ,
| 640Gb SATA drive. The system was running an up to date Fedora 9 with the
| 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 kernel. A single extended partition was used,
| ranging from block 35058 to 77824. As a more human digestible size
| indication, when formatted with the default ext3 parameters this gave a 323G
| blank filesystem with 195M used. I used this same disk and block range
| reformatted to a different filesystem for all testing.
|
| [...]
|
| In Part 3, we'll examine the next most obvious benchmark: how many open,
| write, fsync, close, rename cycles can be performed per second, as well as
| other benchmarks.

Linux Foundation has bought Linux.com
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation has long wanted the Linux.com domain name for obvious
| reasons. For a long time SourceForge, formerly VA Linux Systems, kept the
| site, but the company has now sold Linux.com to the Foundation.
|
| Sources close to the deal say that the deal was made because, -- an all too
| familiar story these days -- the company needed the money. SourceForge, had,
| in addition to its well-known open-source eponymous code Web site, been in
| the media business. In December 2008, however, the company laid off the bulk
| of its NewsForge editorial staff. NewsForge was hosted at Linux.com. The
| Linux.com site then became something of a placeholder site, which held only a
| discussion forum.

The Linux Foundation Unveils and Re-Launches Linux.com
,----[ Quote ]
| There's one little domain name out there that's had a wild ride this year. In
| January, a rather cryptic post went up on Linux.com, a SourceForge web
| property, that said updates had been slowing -- and were as of that point
| ceasing -- because changes were in the works. Then came the silence on the
| wire.
