OK. Maybe the 'not-so-sure' was a bit provocative on this list. <G>
As I can't afford a 'Filer', Samba is ~obviously~ my best option.
WinXP reports the same figures though - maybe the answer is another DLT drive direct onto the (New-Improved!) Samba box; rather than mapping drives to the W2K backup server.
Nevertheless, the sizes can't be *real* - according to the stats my drive is 3 times bigger than it was when I bought it! Point taken on the journaling FS.
Can anyone compare small file performance between RH ext3 and ReiserFS?
ext3 - 0 ; ReiserFS - 5 ;-D
ext3 makes no provision for small files at all, while ReiserFS is specially optimized towards that goal.
Made me think - thanks for the input
