We are taking a second year course named Operating Systems, in which we study, well, basically, Andrew Tanenbaum's "Modern Operating Systems" (2nd Edition). For our last lab project we were asked to write a paper on a subject of our choice. After looking though a few possibilities, we chose to do it about linux Ext4. We've been asked to not only compare it (performance-wise) with Ext3, but to explain -and try to justify the results of the benchmark comparisons- the following: caracteristics of each file system, internal arquitecture, and disk structure. Doing research, we've found little information related to these subjects, but we did find this mail list, and thought someone here might help us. We contacted Andrew Morton, and he also suggested vger.kernel.org. Any information or source for related info would be greately apreciated! Thank you very much for your time!
