[NBLUG/talk] File System recommendation needed

[Jordan Erickson]

I'm not the most experienced with this but I would have to think that
ext4, ReiserFS or XFS would probably all be just fine. Don't forget to
tune the filesystem options (/etc/fstab, etc.) too for your specific use
case (noatime/relatime come to mind for ext* filesystems, not sure about
others). Actual hardware specs will probably impact your media consuming
ability much more than the filesystem used on storage medium. Also,
think about the future - set it up with LVM if you can as that would
allow for easy adding of storage devices to the current volume without
much headache if/when you run out of room.


Cheers,
Jordan
