Start: 2006/10/10 - 7:30pm End: 2006/10/10 - 9:00pm Location: O'Reilly, Sebastopol, CA http://nblug.org/genloc 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. -- Kyle Rankin NBLUG President The North Bay Linux Users Group http://nblug.org IRC: greenfly(a)irc.freenode.net #nblug kyle(a)nblug.org
