And here I was trying to compile old versions of GRUB from namesys.com. By the way, do you think the benchmarks from: http://linuxhelp.150m.com/resources/fs-benchmarks.htm and http://m.domaindlx.com/LinuxHelp/resources/fs-benchmarks.htm are accurate? .-------------------------. | FILESYSTEM | TIME |DISK | | TYPE |(secs)|USAGE| .-------------------------. |REISER4 lzo | 1938 | 278 | |REISER4 gzip| 2295 | 213 | |REISER4 | 3462 | 692 | |EXT2 | 4092 | 816 | |JFS | 4225 | 806 | |EXT4 | 4408 | 816 | |EXT3 | 4421 | 816 | |XFS | 4625 | 779 | |REISER3 | 6178 | 793 | |FAT32 |12342 | 988 | |NTFS-3g |10414 | 772 | .-------------------------. Column one measures the time taken to complete the bonnie++ benchmarking test (run with the parameters bonnie++ -n128:128k:0) Column two, Disk Usage: measures the amount of disk used to store 655MB of raw data (which was 3 different copies of the Linux kernel sources).
