Ted Ts’o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:
“Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed().”
Wow my favorite FS is still being developed. Nice
Mine too. I could not bring myself to adopt a new or different FS at the moment. I wonder what “fast devices” and “slow” in this context means.
NVME SSDs vs HDDs, perhaps?
Fedora people would say that BTRFS is better because it allows maintenance that EXT4 doesnt even have :)
i’m using fedora on ext4 lol, the single unavoidable problem with BTRFS is that i’d have to switch to it :P
I dislike Fedora anyways.
Why do you dislike Fedora?
I’m genuinely curious.
I understand ext4 being dependable, but favorite? I’m curious what makes it your favorite.
Is dependable not a good enough reason to be someone’s favorite?
