Is there any difference between running mkfs.ext3 under a 2.4 kernel and running that under a 2.6 kernel?
Any benefits gained from doing it under 2.6?
Let me add some context. I am going to conduct some benchmarks between xfs and ext3 under different configurations and I wondered if running mkfs under different kernels would affect the results.
mkfs writes the filesystem meta-data from userspace to a block device. The only thing different between kernels might be speed.
Now, once it is mounted, there is a difference between ext3 on 2.4 and 2.6 with the orlov allocator...
