EXT4, Btrfs, XFS & NILFS2 HDD File-System Tests On Linux 4.8

NILFS2 came back to the top position with the FS_Mark tests followed by XFS.

EXT4 took the lead for Compile Bench...

With the fsync-happy PostMark test, Btrfs and EXT4 were neck-and-neck.

With the PostgreSQL database benchmark the leader was EXT4 followed by XFS and Btrfs.

Well, nothing really as a surprise from this hard drive testing with Linux 4.8... Overall, EXT4 and XFS tended to perform the strongest as they tend to regardless of storage medium while Btrfs and NILFS2 still had their strong finishes. Again, this was with just out-of-the-box testing and using the default mount options for each file-system from this lone Hitachi HUA72302 hard drive. If you wish to see how your own Linux system(s) disk performance compares, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1608243-LO-HDDDISKTE91.
