Ext3和Reiserfs文件系统占用空间的比较

来源:赛迪网 作者:korn
  

Ext3文件系统和reiserfs文件系统现在linux系统上是非常流行的两种。下面我们来比较一下这两种文件系统本身对硬盘空间的占用情况。因为我的硬盘分区已经基本定好,不容易更改了,所以就使用文件的方式创建文件来进行比较──毕竟我们这里比较的不是速度,而是空间──然而这样做不知是否和实际设备上有区别。

 

(一)首先,我们需要一个有足够空闲空间的分区来做这个实验。我的空闲的空间还不到5GB,所以只好把实验的每个最大分区做到2GB。我的实验中先是做100MB的“分区”的比较,然后是1GB分区的比较,最后是2GB分区的比较。我们所需要的工具也十分简单:dd工具,用于较快地取得一个大文件;创建文件的工具mkfs.ext3和mkfs.reiserfs;df工具,用来查看分区占用情况。

 

这里提前说明我的系统的简单情况:内核为2.6.23.1,自己编译的。命令替换有alias ll='ls -l'。reiserfs版本是3.6的。

 

(二)现在就开工:

1.创建100M的文件:

dd if=/dev/zero of=d-ext3fs bs=1M count=100

dd if=/dev/zero of=d-reiserfs bs=1M count=100

2.创建文件系统:

2.1创建ext3文件系统:

 

 

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mkfs.ext3 d-ext3fs 
mke2fs 1.40.4 (31-Dec-2007)
d-ext3fs is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
Filesystem label=

Maximum filesystem blocks=67371008

Writing inode tables: done 
Creating journal (4096 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 31 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
2.2创建reiserfs文件系统:
togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mkfs.reiserfs d-reiserfs 
mkfs.reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)

A pair of credits:
Lycos Europe (www.lycos-europe.com) had a support contract with us that
consistently came in just when we would otherwise have missed payroll, and that
they kept doubling every year. Much thanks to them.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge wrote the teahash.c code for V3. Colin Plumb also
contributed to that.

d-reiserfs is not a block special device
Use -f to force over
///////////////呵呵,不让我默认在文件上创建文件系统。
togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mkfs.reiserfs d-reiserfs -f
mkfs.reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)

A pair of credits:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, www.darpa.mil) is 
the
primary sponsor of Reiser4. DARPA does not endorse this project; it mer
ely 
sponsors it.

contributed to that.

Tell your friends to use a kernel based on 2.4.18 or later, and especially n
ot a
kernel based on 2.4.9, when you use reiserFS. Have fun.

ReiserFS is successfully created on d-reiserfs.

 

3.这样创建好文件系统之后,开始挂载它们,查看他们的可用空间吧。

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mount d-ext3fs ext/ -t ext3 -o loop

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mount d-reiserfs rei/ -t reiserfs -o loop

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ df

文件系统 1K-块 已用 可用 已用% 挂载点

......(此处将不相干的东西略去)

/home/togry/disks/d-ext3fs

99150 5664 88366 7% /home/togry/disks/ext

/home/togry/disks/d-reiserfs

102392 32840 69552 33% /home/togry/disks/rei

哟!reiserfs文件系统竟然占用了这么大的地方,三分之一都没有了。

 

4.创建两个1GB的文件进行比较。相比前面,这里要简略一些。

drwxr-xr-x 2 togry togry 48 2008-01-11 17:07 ext

-rw-r--r-- 1 togry togry 1073741824 2008-01-22 20:53 ext3

drwxr-xr-x 2 togry togry 48 2008-01-11 17:07 rei

-rw-r--r-- 1 togry togry 1073741824 2008-01-22 20:50 reiserfs

其中etc3和reiserfs两个文件就是“设备”。

 

5.创建文件系统

 

 

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mkfs.reiserfs reiserfs -f
mkfs.reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)

journal relocation code.

consistently came in just when we would otherwise have missed payroll, and that
they kept doubling every year. Much thanks to them.

6.挂载文件系统之后查看空间的剩余情况

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ df

......

/home/togry/disks/ext3

1032088 34092 945568 4% /home/togry/disks/ext

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ df -h

/home/togry/disks/reiserfs

1.0G 33M 992M 4% /home/togry/disks/rei

似乎文件空间的占用情况相当了。让我们再看看2GB文件系统里的情况:

7.创建文件:

dd if=/dev/zero of=ext3 bs=1G count=2

dd if=/dev/zero of=reiserfs bs=1G count=2

看一下结果:

drwxr-xr-x 2 togry togry 48 2008-01-11 17:07 ext

-rw-r--r-- 1 togry togry 2147483648 2008-01-22 21:30 ext3

drwxr-xr-x 2 togry togry 48 2008-01-11 17:07 rei

-rw-r--r-- 1 togry togry 2147483648 2008-01-22 21:35 reiserfs

8.创建文件系统:

 

 

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mkfs.ext3 ext3

ReiserFS is successfully created on reiserfs.

这回创建文件系统的时间都比以前长了。

9.挂载文件系统,看结果:

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ sudo mount ext3 ext -t ext3 -o loop && sudo mount reiserfs rei -t reiserfs -o loop

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ df

文件系统 1K-块 已用 可用 已用% 挂载点

......

/home/togry/disks/ext3

2064208 68680 1890672 4% /home/togry/disks/ext

/home/togry/disks/reiserfs

2097084 32840 2064244 2% /home/togry/disks/rei

togry@xiaowp:~/disks$ df -h

/home/togry/disks/reiserfs

2.0G 33M 2.0G 2% /home/togry/disks/rei

 

(三)综上所做的实验,我可以比较肯定的说对于ext3文件系统,当分区增大时,它本身所使用的空间也随之较快的增长;而reiserfs系统的增长速度却远没有ext3文件系统那样快。此外由于reiserfs是真正的日志文件系统,所以它比较适用于经常对文件读和写的地方;而ext3文件系统也具有一定的日志功能,但是它的性能就没那么好了。而对于小的分区,比如/boot,使用ext3或者是ext2作为基本上是只读的分区就是非常理想的。
