    Phoronix: Btrfs Mount Option Benchmarks With The Linux 4.9 Kernel

    Following last week's Btrfs / EXT4 / XFS / F2FS benchmarks using the Linux 4.6 through 4.9 kernels, some requests came in for doing some fresh Btrfs mount option comparison benchmarks. Thus for your viewing pleasure ahead of the holidays are some Btrfs mount option tests with the Linux 4.9 kernel.

    IIRC, nodatacow still allows snapshots, copying the file only once after it is changed for the first time after a snapshot. Which other features suffer from nodatacow? Data deduplication?

      It doesn't. You loose *all* the features, including checksumming.

        Seems very strange that discard would show better performance.

          Yes, I was wondering about that too... Aren't Samsung 8** buggy and blacklisted in the kernel?

            Well it's kind of pointless IMHO, COW and especially data COW is one of BTRFS' most attractive features. The only case where I disable it is for VM images (obviously).
