With the EXT4 file-system having been stabilized with the Linux 2.6.28 kernel, the Ubuntu developers are preparing to adopt this evolutionary Linux file-system update. EXT4 will not replace EXT3 as the default file-system until at least Ubuntu 9.10, but as of yesterday, Ubuntu 9.04 now has install-time support for EXT4. In this article we are looking at the EXT4 support within Ubuntu as well as providing a few Linux file-system benchmarks from a netbook-embedded solid-state drive. In this article we have published Ubuntu benchmarks of EXT4, EXT3, XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS file-systems.

Another benchmark comparison to watch out for might be one where the HammerFS is pitted against XFS and Ext4FS.

I'd love to see that. I wonder if/when Hammer will be ported out of DragonFlyBSD to something else (FreeBSD??)

For all I know, it's already happened. DragonFly — http://www.dragonflybsd.org/index.shtml — is on my to-run list.

And if you do want to port Hammer (or follow those who do), start here: http://www.dragonflybsd.org/hammer/index.shtml
