I had reiserfs on it before. I guess you won't motice much of a difference. Use what you like and know best. >> I had a few terabytes of my own DVD rips on ext4 on a 3TB RAID5 once >> upon a time.

The portage tree is on reiserfs, because I read it's fast and efficient with small files. And simply because I wanted to lean how to use it. On the other hand, I also read later that it will slow down with every emerge --sync. But for large files, it probably won't matter much. I think ext is a little slow when deleting large files compared to some other file system (JFS? Reiser maybe?), but for me it's not bad. Anyway, putting all those thoughts into it probably already has cost more time than choosing the best file system would have saved me. > I'm just curious as to how much longer dd is going to take.

BTW, I like how the threads tend to soon have nothing to do with the subject lately. Wonko
