I did a relatively short filesystem comparison when I moved my BackupPC pool to another set of drives. The high level results:
jfs, xfs: quick, stable reiserfs: not stable ext4: slow ext3: very slow The "not stable" designation comes from power-off-during-write tests. Other filesystems generally handled this gracefully, but reiserfs corrupted the entire tree, and the recovery tools didn't get it back intact. > Hi everyone, > > I'm doing some benchmarks with BackupPC and I wanted to ask > here about the filesystems you are using and why. > > Which one do you think is best for BackupPC? > > I saw on the documentation that some users found Reiser is better than > ext3: > > [docu] > "Several users have reported significantly better performance using > reiserfs compared to ext3 for the BackupPC data file system" > [/docu] > > But I doubt to use ReiserFS as it is no longer being developed or > updated and I do not know if it's a FS mature enough for production. > > > Thanks in advance. > Regards. > > -- > > Marcos Lorenzo de Santiago > System administrator > marcos.lore...@andago.com > > ÁNDAGO INGENIERÍA > Tlf: +34 916 011 373 Álcalde Ángel Arroyo, 10, 1º > Mvl: +34 637 741 034 28904, Getafe, Madrid (Spain) > Fax: +34 916 011 372 www.andago.com > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dios no juega a los dados con el universo. > -- Albert Einstein > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
