Debian Administration :: Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch

Debian Administration :: Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch Results suggest that, for these tasks, filesystems can be regrouped as (a) quick and more CPU-intensive (ReiserFS and XFS) or (b) slower but less CPU-intensive (ext3 and JFS). XFS appears as a good compromise, with relatively quick results, moderate usage of CPU and acceptable rate of page faults.
