Subject What's the best file system for FB on linux
Author Almond
Somebody ask about the distribution, my consideration is the fs
performance. We have reiserFS, XFS, JFS and ext3. I have an application
which have a db about 5~10G size. Have anybody done some bench marking on
fs vs firebird.

1. Difference on pre-allocation of spaces. Some reading mentioned that this
would enhance the performance since the db engine need not extend the file
through the fs which is very time consuming (?).
2. fb page size vs fs block size. Is there any optimization rules for
difference size of db ?
