All modern databases do large block streaming appending writes, and small random reads, usually of just a handful of files. It ought to be easy to design a filesystem which can have pretty much zero overhead for those two operations. I'm kinda disappointed that every filesystem doesn't perform identically for the database workload. I totally understand that different file systems would do different tradeoffs affecting directory listing, tiny file creation/deletion, traversing deep directory trees, etc. But random reads of a huge file ought to perform near identically to the underlying storage medium.
