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.
