| Jan 17, 2019 at 17:11 | comment | added | LustreOne | One major difference between ext4 and XFS is how they manage free space used for allocation. Ext4 scans bitmaps to find free space, while XFS keeps two trees of free extents (one sorted by offset, one sorted by size). This can be faster in some cases, but adds ongoing overhead to manage. Either filesystem may be faster than the other depending on the workload, available CPU, disk speed, etc. | |
