Apologies for the wide alias, but as it may interest serveral
fs groups, here it is:
In the everlasting search for the best fs for my shiny new disks, I
was interested in some numbers, here're the results:
http://nerdbynature.de/bench/amd64/2.6.19-rc5-git4/test-3/dm-crypt-3.html
details: http://nerdbynature.de/wp/?cat=4
(in short: ext3 pretty fast in all operations. then again, the numbers
suggest that sometimes a crypto-fs is faster than withou crypto, eg.
'ext3_no-cipher' vs. 'ext3_aes-cbc-essiv:md5'...that's
strange, no?)
Thanks,
Christian.
