Best fs for hd dedicated totally to music

Croaker · 05-28-2005, 09:50 PM

Just thought I would get some opinions on which file system to use on a 320gb hd dedicated completly to music. All of which is being ripped in .flac format. Right now I have the disk formatted as resierfs. If I can get enough comments to reformat in another file system, I just migt consider it. Thanks.

Stick with reiser

i've got a linux based recording studio. this is much more demanding then ripped music and all the music storage drives use reiserfs. I would say that reiser is the best for music

xfs is another good way to go. very good for media, but as even flac isn't as large as high quality video, reiser might be best.

reiser4 would be great, but it's not really viable at this point in time.

XFS does more caching to the drive. It will perform almost as good, but isn't worth the hassle.
