Filesystem for a large partition.


Hi,

I'm planning on getting two 500 GB SATA disks, setting them up on a (fake)RAID 1 and making it my new /home. I'm (obviously) going to create only one partition but I'm wondering what filesystem to use. Suggestions?

If you're going to be doing a lot of large file processing (like 1 GB or larger videos), you may want to look at xfs.
