Oops. worst: ufs under FreeBSD. Here is the data.
Environment:
- ASUS P5/133, 32MB, 2.1GB Quantum FireballTM IDE drive with identical
configurations under FreeBSD and Linux (16 sectors/interrupt, 32-bit i/o,
PIO mode 4).
- all on the same empty partition (except mke2fs puts lost+found there)
at offset about 320MB and size about 1024MB.
- I thought I used the same block size of 4K in all cases, but some of
my notes say that I used 8K for ufs. The ufs fragment size was certainly
not 4K as it should have been to match the ext2fs fragment size.
