First item in the bulleted list under "How Many and How Big?" Perhaps "best performing filesystem" is something like what was meant?

Warning- I'm being picky/pedantic. Feel free to mark this "INVALID" if you disagree with me. Still, "performant" doesn't show up in m-w.com at all, and in dictionary.com only as a noun meaning "a performer." I take it you are expecting Linux users to be familiar with this word regardless, but it might be better to stick to plain English where possible.

Reproducible: Always

You're right.
FYI, some docdevs practice several languages, often at the same time, and might get confused once in a while.

Fixed.
