Subject: [Bug 78651] Write performance of ext4 degrades linearly as volume
 fills

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78651

--- Comment #4 from Joseph D. Wagner <joe@...ephdwagner.info> ---
Another piece to this puzzle.  I added a journal but mounted with nodelalloc. 
Performance was about 42 mB/s (36%) worse than without a journal.  Does delayed
allocation work without a journal?
