This really makes me hopeful for when they get things further along. From the responses it looks like it even does better right now than the existing FS for building lots of small files, even before they've got the optimizations to store them in their idata structure. BtrFS reaches similar performance by storing the files in the btree that they use it sounds like. This is the same kind of optimization done years ago by ReiserFS storing small files (<4k I think it was?) in the B+ tree they used for storing the file index. Great things ahead it looks like for the Tux3 FS. I wonder how long before they get a better allocator to avoid the fragmentation problems they have. EDIT: I wonder how much the asyncronous design is affected by devices that support NCQ and/or NVMe? Anybody have anything to test that?
