You seem to forget that I clearly stated the common case is a single disk system. In this case, btrfs will only be able to tell the user corruption occurred,...

[Space Heater]

Looks like btrfs is *more* likely to lose your data in the case of a drive failure than ext4 is. The common case is on a single disk and most users suck...

[Space Heater]

What prevents Intel's bootable ISO from updating the firmware? Does it not support your SSD or something?...

[Space Heater]

My first guess would be that randomizing the location of kernel functions impacts locality which could cause additional i-cache misses when running kernel...

[Space Heater]

It has been flawless for me so far, and overall I've found it to be extremely useful.


I'd like to see HP try to get to a similar level...

[Space Heater]

OpenZFS does not drop you to a rescue shell when you reboot after one drive in a raid1 array dies, unlike btrfs. In fact btrfs is the only filesystem...

[Space Heater]

Checksumming is great when you have redundant copies of data so that you can repair the corruption, but btrfs' raid capabilities seem to still be incomplete/immature...

[Space Heater]

I'd say that in some ways they learned from arm. UEFI support is required for arm's ServerReady compliance program, specifically SBBR. Of course the RISC-V...

[Space Heater]

pal666 all you do is get enraged and name call, nowhere in the post I linked was raid5 or 6 referenced. You're just some unstable individual on phoronix...

[Space Heater]

Calm down and take your medication.

Also the quote was not about raid 5 or 6, but about btrfs in general. Of course reading isn't one of...

[Space Heater]

The developer stated that btrfs has too many data loss bugs, the context doesn't change that. Which is exactly why I'm hesitant to agree that it should...

[Space Heater]

I would have hoped they would talk about the real world performance differences between btrfs and ext4/xfs, and back that up with real benchmarks. The...

[Space Heater]

Those benchmark results look insane, and I would take them with a huge grain of salt. I'm not saying Windows can't be faster, but it really makes zero...

[Space Heater]

You interpret having an open discussion about changing a default to be a weakness of a project?...

[Space Heater]

I hope a lot more performance improvements land by 3.38, and maybe eventually have input be a separate thread. While I don't have a strong opinion on...

[Space Heater]

I saw in the bug report another user reported system freezes with qemu/kvm virtual machines and FSGSBASE.

On 5.8-rc2 with FSGSBASE patches,...

[Space Heater]

It would appear that 15h and newer support FSGSBASE, so that is Bulldozer and newer. I'm not sure if 16h (Jaguar/Puma) support it though.

...

[Space Heater]

Given that the bug report was posted before the current revision of the FSGSBASE patches came out, I'd suggest checking again to see if the problem still...

[Space Heater]

Yes, but the improvement isn't likely to be as noticeable, as context switches are currently less expensive on AMD systems.

You can look...
