Subject: More testing: 4x parallel 2G writes, sequential reads
I tried ext4 vs. xfs doing 4 parallel 2G IO writes in 1M units to 4
different subdirectories of the root of the filesystem:

and then read them back sequentially:

http://people.redhat.com/esandeen/seekwatcher/ext4_xfs_4_read_threads.png
At the end of the write, ext4 had on the order of 400 extents/file, xfs
had on the order of 30 extents/file. It's clear especially from the
read graph that ext4 is interleaving the 4 files, in about 5M chunks on
average. Throughput seems comparable between ext4 & xfs nonetheless.
Again this was on a decent HW raid so seek penalties are probably not
too bad.
