XFS Is Becoming Leaner While Btrfs & EXT4 Gain Weight

[not.sure]

It's also noteworthy that according to the graph on the original post ext4 is only approaching half of the LOCs of xfs...

Isn't there code that is shared across ext2/3/4? If yes, is that counted in?

IIRC, the common code is duplicated because people were wary of doing any kind of experimental development in the ext3 tree at that point. There is (or was last time I looked) a kernel config option to the effect of "use ext4 driver for ext2/3 filesystems", which doesn't make much sense unless the ext2/3 code is duplicated.

I am not sure why you call it an article. This was submitted under "Latest Linux News".

I have all the articles and news from Phoronix in the same place. I wouldn't expect something like that as a news.
