I thought the paper only talked about ext3, and theorized that delayed
allocation in ext4 might be enough to make the problem go away, but
they had not actually done any measurements to confirm this
supposition. Has there been any more recent benchmarks comparing
ext3, ext4, and XFS running Samba serving Windows clients?

P.S. I'll be on the Google campus tomorrow and Wednesday attending
the Ubuntu developer's conference; we should get together for lunch or
dinner or some such....
