Ext3 vs Reiserfs

PostMark Configuration:
  • set size 1000 9000
  • set number 2000
  • set transactions 50000
This first test uses relatively small files in the range of 1000 bytes to 9000 bytes, and has a net result in causing about 150MB of data to be read and written to. This should fit well within the RAM on the system. This should be interesting to see how well the journaling filesystems do when there are lots of operations mostly in memory.



Although the graphs don't show it very well, numbers do differ between the various tests.
