• exFAT Achieves Better Sequential Read Performance With Linux 7.0 The open-source Linux file-system driver for supporting Microsoft’s exFAT now can deliver better sequential read performance with Linux 7.0 thanks to multi-cluster support. • The work previously covered back in December for exFAT on Linux using multi-cluster support and Upcoming exFAT Linux Driver Patch Can Boost Sequential Read Performance By ~10% has been merged for Linux 7.0. • This can improve performance by about 10% while also having lower overhead. • This multi-cluster/contiguous cluster support can deliver better sequential read performance especially when using small cluster sizes. • The 10% improvement is with a 512 byte cluster size. • The exFAT code for Linux 7.0 also optimized consecutive FAT entry reads by caching buffer heads to significantly reduce sb_bread() calls.
