Hi, I would greatly appreicate it if someone could help me with this.
I am going to use Iozone to compare some filesystems - ext2,ext3,NTFS, FAT, JFS, XFS, and hopefulyl ZFS at some point.

What I would like to know is;

What does record length mean? How does it affect performance?
Which filesystems would be affected the most by this?i.e, will some of the above work better with small record lengths etc?

Thanks in advance.

May be this will help:

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that the record size appears on the graph as tranfer speed. What does this mean? How does it show performance?
