Linux 4.0 Hard Drive Comparison With EXT4 / Btrfs / XFS / NTFS / NILFS2 / ReiserFS

The initial create test for compile bench marked another win for EXT4 followed by XFS and then Btrfs.

The main takeaway from PostMark is just the significantly lower performance out of the (FUSE-based) NTFS and the aging ReiserFS.

Stay tuned for the Linux 4.0 SSD testing shortly on Phoronix. If you appreciate all of the Linux benchmarking done at Phoronix, please consider subscribing to Phoronix Premium.
