Hi geeks,
I have not that much much deep knowledge about the unix file systems,
so my questions what would be the best file system for nutch
distributed file systems data nodes?
Does it make any different using the one or the other file system?
Would reiserFS a good choice?
Most of the time we deal with very large files, with sequential access.
Only in few places we deal with a lot of small files (e.g. indexing).
So, I think the best would be an FS optimized for efficient sequential
write/read of large files.
Is reiserfs such an FS? I'm not sure, I think these requirements point
rather to a fairly primitive FS (not FAT - a real FS ;-) ), perhaps
reiserfs is too complex.
When in doubt, test.
