My question now is which file system would be best to use? I have used reiserfs with great success, but reiser4 or xfs look appealing.
I would stay far away from reiser4. From what I can tell, reiser4 may never make it into the mainline kernel. Xfs and ext3 are both very good choices. Personally I have a /very slight/ preference for xfs, because of xfs_fsr and the tuning options available in /proc.
Recommendations for a file system that is mostly going to be challenged by streaming video (mpeg, h.264 dirac, ogg theora....) is of keen interest. Any benchmarks available?
Partitioning is probably the most important thing you could do for the performance of this system. Make a separate filesystem for the video work, so it doesn't have to compete for block/extent allocations with the rest of your system. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
