Has anyone done any performance/benchmarking tests on Linux loopback file systems? What has your experience been so far. Is there any serious degradation in performance? How about robustness? http://freshmeat.net/articles/virtual-filesystem-building-a-linux-filesystem-from-an-ordinary-file | |||

I've had no problems. It's all been rock-solid. The filesystem cache and IO scheduler in Linux are sensible enough that it shouldn't make any noticable difference between asking for a disk directly and asking for a section of a file on a disk. | |||
