“…These characteristics make them essential for constructing dependable, expandable, and secure information infrastructures, garnering substantial attention from IT professionals and academics. Also, the flexibility to expand and shrink the storage capacity is one of the essential elements that should be considered [1]. There are other requirements, including that the storage must execute many other CPU-intensive tasks, such as compression, data deduplication, checksum calculations, snapshots, and data cloning [2].…”

Filesystems are essential components in contemporary computer systems that organize and manage data. Their performance is crucial in various applications, from web servers to data storage systems. This paper helps to pick the suitable filesystem by comparing btrfs with ZFS by considering multiple situations and applications, ranging from sequential and random performance in the most common use cases to extreme use cases like high-performance computing (HPC). It showcases each option’s benefits and drawbacks, considering different usage scenarios. The performance of btrfs and ZFS will be evaluated through rigorous testing. They will assess their capabilities in handling huge files, managing numerous small files, and the speed of data read and write across varied usage levels. The analysis indicates no definitive answer; the selection of the optimal filesystem is contingent upon individual data-access requirements.
