-- Hello all,
I have to compare different filesystems options for an embedded platform and I'd like understand what's the best way in your opinion, I use to read
wikipedia but do you have any suggestion or articles or references that can help me ? I am not really expert about filesystem but I have to start!
Thanks,
Pietro.
Hi Pietro,
I think having answers to below questions will help you decide on the filesystem you want to choose.
-> What kind of workload is it going to support
-> big files / small files / avg file size ?
-> Flat directory structure / Nested deep hierarchy of directories
-> Write once read many times / or frequent overwrites / or append only workloads etc.
-> Will it have frequent metadata updates as opposed to user writes (things like chmod, mv etc.)
-> How much memory you will have
-> Type of disks
-> Will you need versioning or snapshot of your files
-> Will you ever need to backup (incremental)
-> Will you need to resize
etc. etc., you get the idea.
Thanks -
Manish
