For those that have switched to (or are using) ext3 as a file system for
recorded content:
It's certainly trivial to change from XFS or JFS to ext3 (assuming you
have enough temporary space to hold your content), but what about delete
performance?
I've been using jfs with little trouble (no LVM, only hardware raid, no
software raid). However, I'm looking at expanding the partition, and
have been reconsidering the file system type.
I know that Myth 0.20 has a "slow delete" option (although I didn't
check it since I use JFS for now). Does the "slow delete" option work
well on Myth 0.20+fixes? Does it "hang up" the frontend during the
deletion, or does the delete happen in the background? I presume that,
with slow delete enabled, other activity to the file system (i.e. new
shows being recorded) aren't interrupted?
ext3 has pretty poor delete performance "out of the box", so this has
been a concern of mine ...
Thanks,
