post by andrew morton And when benching things, please include ext2. It is the reference filesystem, as it were. It tends to be the fastest, too. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 09:54:53 -0500 From: "Baudouin, Andrew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] Fastest file system To: Discussion about mythtv <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain What you have said simply isn't the case. Ext2 might be "rock solid", but that also translates into "dog slow" at what MythTV users want to do. XFS or JFS is the best choice for a MythTV shows partition. They are both excellent at handling large files. I recommend JFS. ReiserFS is the best choice for a many-small-file partition, much like /usr/portage on Gentoo. You'll find that Linux isn't that stable when it comes to using MythTV. I have found memory leaks in either my sound card driver or the MythTV program itself (sound quits working after a couple of days).

It is rock solid and it is the fastest. I know journaling systems are super kick a$$ awesome hot cool sweet and UBER great. Why do you run fsck so much? Keep the machine up 24/7, linux is a stable OS and doesn't need to reboot everyday to keep running. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 09:56:37 -0500 From: Dave Sherohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Fastest file system To: Discussion about mythtv <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Fri, Sep 09, 2005 at 09:49:13AM -0500, Mike Daugird wrote: > Why do you run fsck so much?

If someone is running fsck all the time, it's due to power issues, flaky hardware, children who think it's fun to press the reset button, etc. Or maybe they only end up fscking once or twice a year, but prefer that it not take forever to complete.
