Re: is this list or project still alive? comments on latest benchmarks?

["L. A. Walsh" <xfs@xxxxxxxxx>]

fsck?  on a Journaling file system?   "That don't make no sense!" ;=)

XFS has shown up pretty well against most contenders in tests from 2 
years ago like
the article you mention, but this latest bench I was mentioning was one
mentioned a week or so back on slashdot, here: 
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/06/1539235

It pointed to a an updated benchmark with updated file-system software
on Linux Gazette here:

http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz

The have graphs of time taken and cpu time used.  XFS didn't take the
lead in any of the tests. Maybe the test was optimized for smaller 
computers?

Will try resubbing to the list -- maybe got dropped off (sigh), thanks 
for the
response.
