RAID 0 wasn't the only poor choice for Linux in the tests. "They used ext3, which is one of the slowest filesystems on Linux," Allison said. "In a real comparative test, you would use XFS, you would stripe it appropriately, doing exactly the same thing for the Windows system, of course. Then you would put the journal log on a separate device."

Allison believes those two changes alone -- changing from RAID 0 to RAID 5 and from ext3 to XFS -- would end the I/O bottleneck that flattened Linux's performance-curve very early in the VeriTest benchmarks.

They both used RAID0 ... I don't understand /cry
