Mastering Linux: Using Filesystem Benchmarks to Measure Performance For anyone involved in system administration or managing Linux-based IT environments, understanding the performance of your filesystem is crucial. The filesystem is a core component of the operating system that determines how data is stored and retrieved.

Understanding Filesystem Caching and Buffering in Linux Linux, like any other advanced operating systems, is designed to make the most efficient use of system resources, particularly in terms of input/output (I/O) operations. To enhance performance, Linux utilizes techniques known as filesystem caching and buffering.
