[mythtv-users] Fastest file system

[Baudouin, Andrew]

What you have said simply isn't the case.  Ext2 might be "rock solid", but
that also translates into "dog slow" at what MythTV users want to do.

XFS or JFS is the best choice for a MythTV shows partition.  They are both
excellent at handling large files.  I recommend JFS.

ReiserFS is the best choice for a many-small-file partition, much like
/usr/portage on Gentoo.

You'll find that Linux isn't that stable when it comes to using MythTV.  I
have found memory leaks in either my sound card driver or the MythTV program
itself (sound quits working after a couple of days).

in my opinion ext2 is better then most people give it credit. It is rock
solid and it is the fastest. 
I know journaling systems are super kick a$$ awesome hot cool sweet and UBER
great.
Why do you run fsck so much? Keep the machine up 24/7, linux is a stable OS
and doesn't need to reboot everyday to keep running.
