File Systems Comparison

Last Updated:

Overview

I was interested if for my day to day usage any of the performance based metrics for different filesystems would present a significant “feelable” differnece, so I decided to do a little statistical analysis in jupyter and poke a little bit of fun mainly in benchmarking/comparison of ext4 and btrfs.

Aside from the first two, the next filesystems present in the analysis are xfs and zfs, more as a curiosity than with the actual intention of potential usage on a desktop.

You can read the analysis exported as a sub-page here.
