"It does without a performance penalty"

yeah. it's already so terribly slow that it's unlikely that taking snapshots can make it any slower :-D



That was not my experience with NILFS. It outperformed ext4 on my laptop NVME.


The benchmarks here look pretty bad:

The last page looks pretty bad. If you look at the others it's more of a mixed bag, but yeah.

I don't remember what benchmark I ran before deciding to run it on my laptop. Given my work at the time probably pgbench, but I couldn't say for sure. It was long enough ago I also might've been benchmarking against ext3, not 4.


i think i was running it on 6TB conventional HDD RAID1. also note that the read and write speeds might be quite asymetrical... in general also depends on workload type.
