Linux 6.17 File-System Benchmarks, Including OpenZFS & Bcachefs


Linux 6.17 is an interesting time to carry out fresh file-system benchmarks given that EXT4 has seen some scalability improvements while Bcachefs in the mainline kernel is now in a frozen state.

Due to the mentioned motivating factors, recently I carried out some fresh Linux file-system benchmarks on the Linux 6.17 development kernel. All of the file-systems were tested from a Crucial T705 1TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD (CT1000T705SSD3). As Ubuntu 25.10 also patched an OpenZFS build to work on Linux 6.17, I included that out-of-tree file-system too for this comparison.
