Von KI berichtet
Recent patches to the Linux kernel introduce support for larger block sizes in the EXT4 file system, exceeding the typical 4KB page size. Submitted by contributor Matthew Wilcox, these changes aim to boost performance in storage-intensive applications by up to 30%. The development builds on prior Virtual File System modifications and follows similar updates in XFS and Btrfs.
