[ardour-users] best file system for audio

[Jason Russler]

I really doubt reiserfs is a good choice.  It may even be bad.  It's
good at handling large numbers of small files efficiently but not very
good larger file I/O - in fact, I recently saw some benchmarks that
indicate that it's pretty bad at it.  ext3 should be fine for most
situations - I use an xfs because it handles very large files quite
well (I do some video stuff as well as audio) and it makes me feel
cool - SGI nostalgia and all that....
Reiserfs fanboys tend to say reiserfs it's good for everything. :O)
