With the release this week of Fedora 11 Preview, which
incorporates install-time support for the Btrfs file-system into Red
Hat's Anaconda installer, we have now delivered our first set of
benchmark results for this next-generation Linux file-system. Through a
horde of disk tests we have looked at the Btrfs file-system performance
and compared it to that of EXT3, EXT4, and XFS. While Btrfs does perform
well in some areas, it is not yet the performance king for Linux
file-systems. As our results show, in some tests it even has a hard time
competing with the incremental EXT4 file-system.
