Most of all - please use an appropriate benchmark.

One that focuses on streaming read/writes of multi-Gb files and deletion
of the same would be good for Myth.

[I suggest that running MythTV is a pretty good and simple benchmark :) ]


However, feel free to use ext2 and/or ext3

Just don't complain when the UI is dog slow at deleting files or the
system takes 45 minutes to boot that time when 'fsck hasn't been run for
30 mounts - checking filesystem'  appears (a lot more than you'd think
if you enable the auto power on/off feature)
