Ted Ts’o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:
“Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed().”
@thingsiplay @drwho , as soon as RAID5/6 is fully ready (and I am aware it looks like it’ll never be), I’ll be switching over to it.

What’s your use case? Do you need the storage capacity and parity of RAID-5 or -6? The write performance?
@drwho I have a data server with data I hold dear and want to ensure losing drives (using RAID6) won’t lead to me losing my data.
