Phoronix: Btrfs With Linux 5.16 Seeing More Performance Optimizations, NVMe ZNS

The Btrfs file-system continues seeing new performance optimizations and other work, thanks in part to the renewed interest around the file-system with Fedora Workstation continuing to use it by default along with openSUSE and other Linux distributions...

It's about time to see BTRFS optimizations + improvements to Zstd

I personally are hoping for per subvolume storage profile selection, per subvolume disk assignment, improvements to raid1/raid1c3/raid1c4 read balancing, metadata scrub and perhaps a chunk bitmap for auto-scrub on unclean shutdowns.

zstd got merged into 5.16 finally (well linux-next)

Any chance btrfs will be able to use 'memory folios' in this release, or is that going to happen fs-by-fs and subsystem by subsystem?

Wohoo!


Can anybody point me to an explanation of "sub-pages"?

BTRFS is now the file System that i always use with Slackware, be it in a HDD, M.2 NVMe or even a MicroSD Card (yes, i can boot Slackware from uSDs easily and reliably), very good performance in all cases.

I hope you are buying high endurance sd ?

it's not realistic to exhaust endurance with metadata updates
