A Good Filesystem for Storing Large Binaries?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday February 11, 2006 @04:45PM from the optimize-to-the-nines dept.

jZnat asks: "I own hundreds of gigabytes of binary data, usually backed up from other mediums such as CDs and DVDs. However, I cannot figure out which filesystem would be best for storing all this reliably. What I'm looking for is a WORM-optimized FS that also has good journaling methods to prevent data loss due to some natural disaster while data is being shifted around. Trying something new for once, I tried using SGI's XFS due to its promising details, but I was met with countless IO errors after trying to write large amounts of data to it. I feel that Ext3 is not optimal for this; ReiserFS is too slow when it comes to reading large data files; and Reiser4 isn't mature enough to entrust my digital assets to. What filesystem would be most appropriate for these needs?"

I'm willing to bet, based on the logical inconsistencies of your post, that you are infringing on copyright by downloading movies, music, and other entertainment from various internet sources.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
