Some time ago I have configured a big file-server (Linux+samba) based on a *big* (near 1000GB) disk array storage connected via SCSI interface. Due to lack of time, I don’t have assembled all tests results into a readable format… for now! 🙂
The kernel used was Linux 2.4.21-27.0.2smp running on a dual p4 3.00GHz with 1024MB of RAM.
I have made some tests with dd and some others useful commands, counting the time needed to finish all commands.
ext3 filesystem
the format process take 8 minutes and 10.239 seconds
this is the *df* output just after the format on the target partition:
jfs filesystem
the format process take 4.531 seconds
this is the *df* output just after the format on the target partition:
reiserfs filesystem
the format process take 1 minutes and 30.158s seconds
this is the *df* output just after the format on the target partition:
