Re: [arch-dev-public] Devs choice of filesystems

JFS performance is generally good, in fact it was the fastest of any for large big writes (writing many-gigabyte files sequentially).

However, under the bonnie++ mixed-bag performance tests, both locally and over NFS, the xfs performance stats were faster, though anecdotally seemed to consume more processor.

JFS, I believe, is also hands-down the fastest at deleting even an extremely large file.

ps. I love the term 'mixed-bag'.
