Subject: [gentoo-user] Good/better/best filesystem for large, static video library?
Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2012 07:41:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK2H+ed5cP77s=ciCC8a+5MCB3DDay_c5hNfTdk5VxfhL4Sozg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
   Merry Christmas to all.

   Upgrading an external USB2 drive at home this Christmas morning to
1TB for more video storage space. One large partition, non-raid, files
are around 1GB. The drive holds only static video files that get
written once and don't change or get erased. No MythTV stuff or
anything like that.

   This disk reside on my main desktop machine and gets backed up
every couple of days to another USB2 drive (FAT formatted
unfortunately) which attaches to the TV.

   With the previous local drive I used ext3 and have had no problems.
I'm just wondering if there's a better choice & why.

Cheers,
Mark
