whupping ext3's butt on write performance isn't very hard, really ;)
But it should be done based on "feature equivalency". By default, ext3 uses ordered data writes. Data is written to disk before the metadata to which that data refers is committed to journal.
It would be questionable to compare a metadata-only journalling approach to ext3 with data=journal or data=ordered. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
