Speaker: Val Henson
Description:
Selecting the right Linux file system for your needs is a difficult and
treacherous business. Every file system claims to be the
best-performing and most robust -- how is a non-expert to cut through
the hype? Next comes tuning your file system, requiring knowledge even
more arcane.
In this talk, Val will describe the strengths and weaknesses of various
file systems, discuss which workloads work best with which file system,
and learn some basic concepts of file system design which help to
evaluate trade-offs. We will cover ext2, ext3, reiserfs, XFS, NFS, and
others. This talk is your one-stop shop for picking the right file
system for your needs, and tuning it for maximum effect.
