Today I am exploring 4 well known filesystem for Linux, and putting each one to the test: Btrfs, ext4, ext4 w/o journaling, xfs and openzfs. All of them are being tested on hardware, running the latest versions in the Debian 11 repos. The benchmark test I am using is iozone 3.493 the latest version of the software. You can find my benchmark scripts on Gitlab. I am performing 13 tests which are included in iozone to simulate workloads of different types to see how well each filesystem performs. This video is based around a question I received from one of my viewers (and because its been a year since I updated the benchmarks). However, the main reason is after watching last Saturdays Linux Saloon, where some folks were making recommendations to use a particular filesystem, and making claims for performance that were unsubstantiated. As an engineer claims without facts always make me suspicious. Oddly enough marketing sometimes uses that method of hyping a product beyond its capabilities. So I wanted to know the truth. How well does btrfs actually perform against the older filesystems in linux? Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it. btrfs development website: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status iozone3 website: https://www.iozone.org/ Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DJWare Follow me: Twitter @djware55 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/don.ware.7758 Discord: https://discord.gg/hQcShnh Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/djware27 "Brightly Fancy" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 "Militaire Electronic" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Werq by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4616-werq License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Industrial Cinematic by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3909-industrial-cinematic License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music Used in this video "NonStop" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License #btrfs #zfs #filesystems
