Re: Debian Linux Reiser4 -patched Kernel 4.11.12 EOL source

[Edward Shishkin <edward.shishkin@gmail.com>]

Yes, rootfs it is one of the best patterns for default mode.

But the most impressive performance numbers can be observed
on a set of well-squeezable files, if you compress files with only
even (or only odd) object IDs (and pass management to unix-file
plugin for other files). This phenomenon is not yet investigated.

What surprised me is how fast and efficient the reiser4 transparent compression image performs in the Google cloud instance. I was expecting a noticeable performance penalty but so far it's extremely fast. I am still testing:
