Post subject: | Which File System? |
I haven't dabbled with Linux much further than patching a kernel with BFS and compiling it, but I do know that there are tons of more file systems other than ext*. I've been using ext3 and ext4 for pretty much forever. I've heard a few people say they use others like XFS, but what benefits does one provide over another? Is it a matter of file sizes and transfer speeds? |

Switch to FreeBSD and use ZFS |

In case you hadn't noticed, it was a link to 43-page set of slides from Sun explaining the benefits of ZFS.We've known each other for somewhere between three and four years now, I'm sorry you still assume I'm being difficult. |

Links aren't really differentiated enough from normal text in this style. |

It's how you usually operate.

If you're on a Windows box, your only real choices are NTFS and exFAT. They're not... well, I never hear anyone gushing over how amazing either file system is, take that for what you will. (I do hear a lot of people bitching about how exFAT is another example of Microsoft being ridiculous and trying to enforce their own proprietary standards on other people - which it pretty much is, but whatever.) -- Griffinhart |

That is so bad. Your computer might melt if you're not careful.
