A new operating system filesystem is expected to inject new life into Linux's ability to search files, documents, e-mails and contacts more efficiently.
Oakland, Calif.-based Namesys (short for Naming System Venture) took the wraps off the latest version of its ReiserFS for licensing this week. Dubbed Reiser4, the so-called "Atomic Filesystem for Linux" posted benchmarks Monday showing it is 2 to 5 five times faster than the previous versions.
A filesystem is the method by which information is stored on disk drives. Different operating systems normally use different filesystems, making it difficult to share the contents of a disk drive between two operating systems.
The company claims it is the fastest filesystem for IO bound tasks that are not "fsync" intensive. Version 4 improves on the designs of the most stable version (Reiser3), which is the default filesystem for SUSE Linux, Lindows, FTOSX and Gentoo.
