Best filesystem for readonly data?


Could anybody recommend me a good file system that I should use for containing data that will only be read? It obviously doesn't need journal support, so I was thinking of using ext2, however is there something better then this?

Thanks to any replies.

As with anything, it depends on what files.

Some are better at large files, others at small, its really mostly preference tho. Ext2 should be fine, i dont think there are any popular file systems that accel at read only, so pick whatever you like best, ext2 is a good choice as it should be widely supported, so if your already using it, you might as well continue using it unless you have a good reason for using another file system (which depends on workload, and what type of files youll be dealing with).
