SAŽETAK /ABSTRACT:

In this paper comparison between performance of three file systems will be examined on Ubuntu virtual machine environment established on VMWare virtualization software. Compared parameters are throughput and latency. Virtual machine environment is used as platform for running Flexible I/O (fio) testing tool which provided results for five different synthetic data tests performed on three virtual disks differentiated formatted as Ext4, XFS and Btrfs.
