      UFS defers fsync() or ?
      I don't see how the difference could be explained otherwise...

      ...and after 5min googling:

      This less important data loss case is the one which most BSD's, including
      FreeBSD and DragonFly, use for UFS write()+fsync(). Under UFS a
      fsync() does not issue a media flush, it simply issues the I/O
      and leaves the data sitting the drive cache.

      Would be nice if phoronix made this quick research and put that as comments

      Cause "blah is 12% faster than bleh", thanks, i can read the graphic, you can spare the extra keystrokes if you're going to say nothing

      Conclusion: ext4 is faster, UFS has a broken implementation.

      Finally, SQLite by default fsync() each transaction which is slow, but applications can just disable that, Firefox probably does it in many places.

        Look some pretty kgraphs that tell you knothing knew or kinteresting

        PTS is not a substitute for a good article

        Graphs are nothing without analysis
        Stop this, please! Think about Gnome users for the gmoment.

            Thats odd, normally those are the tests I would care about, when comparing a server OS. ray tracing? cdraw? who cares again?

            mysql performance, apache, postgres, memcache, php.

            Those are benchmark comparisons that would actully matter.

            side note, people still use KDE? really??!?

              UFS may perform many times better than EXT4 with some Linux kernel releases in SQLite, but with PostMark the EXT4 file-system definitely carries the advantage.
              man mount -> nobarrier

                The differences in the tests you refer to are big enough to warrant further investigation. Both kernels could benefit from the performance lead in the other kernel, because it can apparently be handled more efficiently.

                lol, your first post and immediately you start trolling

                  You would if done properly. At least apache isn't interesting for you, I don't know about the second one. I bet if you use Ext2 or Ext3 and play with mount options you'll get much better results.

                  Where did you come from?

                    A good sqllite test would be nice, as mentioned earlier it's used in a lot of different software, like Firefox. Just testing the number of inserts you can do in 1 second is not a useful benchmark, though, and all you have to do to prove this is to look at the results. If the user experience was really that much worse, no one would have that FS feature enabled. (barriers, i think?) A useful benchmark would be to create a realistic workload. Maybe even trace the work Firefox is doing. Run a few insers and updates, along with several queries. Nothing just does straight inserts like that, though - if a program did want to, it would place all of them inside a single transaction, and still wouldn't show the performance problems this test has.

                      And.... how many sqlite transactions do you actually DO in real life. Sure, ff uses it. That's nice. How many transactions does it do with it? 4? (intentionally left without context)
