I've not heard of any such performance metrics, and I suspect it would very much depend on how the filesystem was "aged". A filesystem that has been in use for a few years and is at 80% capacity will behave very different from a brand-new filesystem which was freshly formatted and then filled with a few large files until said filesystem was 80% full. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
