Greetings Cliff! You should be fine with the USB drive mounted at /var/snd. As long as that drive doesn't disappear (i.e., get unplugged). The file system can be any one of the CentOS-supported file systems. No need to be XFS, though it is one of the more resilient file systems. Leave it as ext4 if that's how it's already formatted. Hope this helps! ~David Klann
