Spaz@lemmy.worldto Technology@piefed.social•EXT4 For Linux 6.16 Brings A Change Yielding "Really Stupendous Performance"2·2 months agoTed Ts’o sent out the EXT4 file-system changes today for the Linux 6.16 kernel. While EXT4 may not see as much code churn these days given its mature state compared to say Btrfs and Bcachefs, with Linux 6.16 are some tantalizing performance improvements.
The EXT4 changes for Linux 6.16 deliver fast-commit performance improvements, multi-fsblock atomic write support for bigalloc file systems, and lastly is large folio support for regular files.
The large folio support for regular files is a particular heavy-hitting performance improvement in Linux 6.16 with the EXT4 file-system. Large folio patches for EXT4 since last year have been showing very nice performance improvements and Ted Ts’o called it out as well in today’s merge request. Ted wrote:
" New ext4 features and performance improvements:
- Fast commit performance improvements
- Multi-fsblock atomic write support for bigalloc file systems
- Large folio support for regular files
This last can result in really stupendous performance for the right workloads. For example, see [1] where the Kernel Test Robot reported over 37% improvement on a large sequential I/O workload.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/202505161418.ec0d753f-lkp@intel.com/"
Yes, Intel’s Kernel Test Robot clocks in the large folio for regular file change to EXT4 as a 37.7% improvement to the FS-Mark benchmark:

More details on the EXT4 changes for Linux 6.16 via this pull request.
With these EXT4 optimizations paired with Bcachefs performance improvements, Btrfs performance work too, and XFS atomic writes, this is one of the more exciting kernel cycles in recent times as it pertains to file-system activity.

Which should hopefully keep Nintendo away from it.
Nice! Starred from me. Great work!

Any reason why there is no tools for allowing a community to say restrict first post(s) to text only until they get a # of positive likes? Or ability to allow communities to require 1 comment on a specific topic until can post own?

Open source bios yes, but you still have close source firmware blobs for amd/intel used on those systems. The only way to do this is to make 100% of the hardware.
Also please note, I am using coreboot already on my pcengines router.
While i agree, no one provides full source blobs for firmware and bios that i am aware of. Please correct me if I am wrong, however.
Any cheap 2x 2.5gb n100 ones yet?
Sorry forgot the /s

Yeah or use infared lasers outside the visual spectrum and high wattage… they wouldnt see it coming. Sun glasses wouldnt stop the light either. But I never said this.
