Finally, Reiser4 Benchmarks Against EXT4 & Btrfs

,----[ Quote ]
| There is no shortage of EXT4 benchmarks 
| from comparing this evolutionary file-
| system's performance on netbooks to how it 
| battles the Btrfs file-system to its 
| performance recession. We have even 
| benchmarked it on USB flash drives and on 
| high-end SSDs. We have also delivered 
| numerous Btrfs benchmarks. In this article 
| though we are finally delivering something 
| that has long been requested and that is 
| Reiser4 file-system benchmarks running 
| directly against EXT4 and Btrfs. We have 
| also thrown in the original ReiserFS file-
| system for comparison too.

The kernel column

,----[ Quote ]
| Last month saw the opening (and then 
| closing) of the 2.6.33 merge window (the 
| time during which Linus takes potentially 
| âintrusiveâ patches to the kernel, followed 
| by a period of stabilisation) and with it a 
| flood of patches intended for the 2.6.33 
| kernel release. There were the usual kinds 
| of driver updates, but also a large amount 
| of work on Big Kernel Lock (BKL) removal â 
| more on that in a moment â and some 
| controversy over graphics drivers. As 
| usual, almost nothing is truly off limits 
| in the kernel and even the venerable sysctl 
| support had a sprucing up this time around. 
| Meanwhile, outside of the merge process, 
| there were a number of features proposed 
| for the longer term â asynchronous page 
| faults and power capping amongst them â and 
| poetic verse in changelogs.

Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Improves the Btrfs Filesystem

,----[ Quote ]
| None other than the father of Linux, Linus
| Torvalds, announced last night, on December
| 2nd, the immediate availability for download
| of Linux kernel 2.6.32, a release that brings
| lots of improvements to the Btrfs filesystem,
| support for ACPI 4.0 and the S+core
| architecture, 3D and KMS support for the ATI
| Radeon R600/R700 graphics cards, support for
| Intel Moorestown, and many other goodies for
| all Linux users around the world.

What's new in Linux 2.6.32

,----[ Quote ]
| 3D support for newer Radeon graphics chips,
| better use of power saving features offered
| by the latest hardware and numerous
| enhancements to KVM and Btrfs are some of
| the outstanding items among the many
| thousands of changes undertaken for the
| latest kernel version. Various other
| improvements should also make Linux 2.6.32
| more reactive and as a result, feel faster.
