All,
One other point regarding benchmarks, it's relevancy depends upon the
environment: when recovering from a "temporal power anomaly" [;-)] an
XFS mount will usually take less than a second. Reiser can take
several.
Admittedly, I'm using Reiser as it exists on SuSE 7.1, and XFS as of
this week's CVS, but an XFS mount was always quick (witnessed personally
when I was helping to track down XFS/RAID5 incompatibilities...several
times...every hour.... ;-).
Yes, it's not the "normal mode", but when the system's down, and the
users have their noses plastered on the glass staring at your back, that
extra 4 seconds per filesystem can seem an eternity!
