Re: Migrating to Ext4

Looks to me like the big win is file/filesystem size increases; if you have gynormous files, this may be of interest.

I don't see anything that really touches on performance...

Delayed allocation, support for extents, and the new online defragger, I expect, will be the biggest areas of performance improvement. Whether or not that'll fix metadata performance (i.e. what is likely the cause of firephoto's svn up or dpkg's stat "Reading Database..." flood) is unclear. Then again, to be fair, I've not felt any Linux filesystems that handle these cases well other than perhaps reiserfs3 (but that had a SEVERE cost of kernel latency for faster operations)
