NTFS-3G isn't optimized yetNTFS-3G isn't optimized yetPosted Jun 19, 2007 6:59 UTC (Tue) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: NTFS-3G isn't optimized yet by szaka Parent article: ZFS on Linux: It's alive (LinuxWorld)
This sort of posting is the second best thing about LWN. I would like to read an article by szaka exploring the above in greater depth. (Delaying NTFS-3G to write it would be more than justified.)

NTFS-3G isn't optimized yet Posted Jun 19, 2007 12:39 UTC (Tue) by Lionel_Debroux (subscriber, #30014) [Link] I second this, a detailed article would be a good thing. It's good that a number of bottlenecks have been identified over the months.
And, it's not true that the optimization work on NTFS-3G didn't start yet ;-)
The new allocator introduced in March yields a leap on performance with large files, and those large files are also less fragmented than they used to be. Even before that, the performance on large files was improved over the versions: in July or August 2006, it was hard to copy a file weighing more than several hundreds of megabytes (depending on the fragmentation), but the stable 1.0 version, the last one before the improved allocator, was faster.
Keep up the good work :)
