Filesystem comparison
by Suso Banderas - May 11th 2004 10:17:19
This filesystem comparison was just released on Linux Gazette:
Benchmarking Filesystems LG #102
While not the most thorough comparison (because it only tests one IDE
drive), and also the graphs are awful, the data does seem to indicate the
JFS is the top performer, leaving ReiserFS and XFS close behind. Of
course, it all depends on what you are using it for.

XFS JFS
by Alan - Oct 18th 2001 16:39:48
Have been using xfs for a month. I am really impressed. Logins, have been
much faster and SAMBA really flies on this system.
JFS looks interesting, but xfs was here first and I'm not switching from a
proven system.

Wrong: JFS is not "new" it's IBM's jounaling file system used
for years on their Aix (ibm's flavor of unix). So, it is a very mature
product. It was first ported from Aix to IBM's 32-bit (x86) OS/2 Warp
Server for e-Business (1999), and then open sourced and ported to
Linux.
If you like XFS fine, but there is no need to spread F.U.D. about a fine
journaling filesystem like ibm's JFS. I use it all the time both in my x86
os/2 system and in linux. VERY very reliable and fast.

you can't say JFS is mature on Linux by counting the AIX years, there are
major changes needed in porting to interact with Linux structures. For
example from SGI side of street, even though XFS solid under IRIX the early
versions on Linux were a bit shaky.

Speed

Are there any speed comparisons between JFS and XFS yet? Haven't found any
yet..

I made comparisons between jfs, ext2 and reiserfs.
I was impressed by jfs, which had nearly
the same transfer rate than ext2.
Reiserfs was really slow...
Note that the conditions weren't good for
JFS and Reiser, because I tried this over LVM,
as ext2 was acceeded directly.
I don't have benches, because my goal was to use
the filesystems, not to bench them...
I didn't try xfs, sorry
Regards.

Nice competition between IBM and SGI
by eckes - Feb 5th 2000 22:09:08
.. curious about the winner of this race.. sure IBM is a bit late, but I
guess both teams have a great deal of work to do. Looks like IBM is better
in activating the OSS communitie to get some help. Maybe this is only
because their JFS is less patent encumbered as SGIs XFS is.
Anyway.. now with Journaling Extensions to ext2, with Reiserfs and with
Support for FAT (kidding) Linux is going to be the killer Server OS ... on
Killer (cheap) Hardware..

I agree. Look at SuSE 8.0. It already includes all FOUR (4!) journaling
file systems, and you can select which one you want to use at install
time.
http://www.suse.com
The four are, for the record, IBM's JFS, ext3fs, ReiserFS, and SGI's
XFS
