Abstract
This article compares three modern Linux file systems: ext4, Btrfs and XFS. Their construction and functional features were discussed. File systems were compared in terms of performance. Additionally modern SSD drives were included in discussion. Ubuntu 15.10 distribution was used to test functionality and performance of these three Linux file systems.
