Some Quick Tests With ZFS, F2FS, Btrfs & Friends On Linux 4.4

First up for the simple SQLite embedded database benchmark, the FUSE-based NTFS file-system was the fastest followed by XFS, EXT4, and ReiserFS. Behind them was F2FS and then ZFS and Btrfs for the out-of-the-box performance.

Under FS-Mark, F2FS was the fastest for the first test while the other file-systems then were competing around the same speed followed by ReiserFS (not to be confused with Reiser4) in last place.

When dealing with multiple threads, EXT4 was the fastest for FS-Mark while NTFS dropped to last place.

When running Dbench, XFS was the fastest each time followed by ZFS and EXT4 competing for second depending upon the thread count. Behind them was then F2FS and Btrfs while the aging ReiserFS and NTFS were in last.
