HDD* Ext4 supports big cluster sizes (up to 256Mb) with -O bigalloc, while XFS supports only 512b-4Kb cluster size* XFS supports fully dynamic inode allocation, i.e. you’ll never run out of inodes, and at the same time you don’t need to waste disk space by reserving it for inodes* Ext4 does NOT support changing inode count without reformatting the filesystem, even with resize2fs; by default, 1/64 of disk space is reserved for inodes (!!!)*: WD Scorpio Black It's not hard to change inode count in theory: (1) move data blocks out of the way if we need to reserve them for inodes (2) change inode numbers in all directory entries (3) overwrite/move inode bitmaps and tables.5" 750GB 7200rpmBut it's not implemented :-(* XFS does NOT support shrinking of a filesystem at all (you can only grow it)

== Copy kernel source (from SSD with warm cache) =Feature difference =
= Benchmarks = == Operations with kernel 3.10 source tree == * HDD: WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 750GB 7200rpm* Kernel: 3.12.3 (Debian 3.12.3-1~exp1) Copy kernel source from SSD to tested FS and then sync, with warm page cache (i.e. not read-bound):* xfs 1 threadparallel copy: 12.348s* xfs 4 threadsparallel copies: 65.883s* ext4 1 threadparallel copy: 7.662s* ext4 4 threadsparallel copies: 33.876s tar 3 kernel source copies from tested FS to /dev/null (basically just read and discard) after 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches':* xfs: real 26.815s, user 0.936s, sys 1.556s* ext4: real 5.509s, user 0.584s, sys 0.872s (almost 5 times faster!) rm 3 kernel source copies and sync after 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches':* xfs: real 7.244s, user 0.148s, sys 2.748s* ext4: real 8.993s, user 0.108s, sys 2.664s(oh, xfs is in fact faster in this test!)
== FS-Mark 3.3, creating 1M files ==
* HDD: WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 750GB 7200rpm
* Kernel: 3.12.3
* fs_mark is a write-only test and it does fsync(), so there should be no skew caused by page cache
== sysbench random read/write 16K in 8M files ==
* HDD: WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 750GB 7200rpm* Kernel: 3.12.3* sysbench was ran with O_DIRECT, so the page cache should also have no impact.* It’s not a filesystem benchmark at all! It tests disk performance because it holds ALL prepared files open during the test. It only shows us that neither ext4 nor XFS aren’t slowing down the direct access to underlying device (which is also good, of course)…* Probably because of the above note, the filesystems don’t differ, and the results are totally same for 1x 1GB file and 128x 8MB files… and very similar for 3072x 16KB files (next test below).

== [http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebench/ filebench] fileserver, dirty_ratio=20% ==
* HDD: WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX, 10000rpm
* Kernel: 3.10.11 (Debian 3.10-3-amd64)* Same test but ran with default 20% dirty_ratio setting. It's clearly seen that the system was using page cache extensively (- ext4 was permanently gaining an unreal result in the single-thread threaded test...)
