Hi *
I just got some free space on my server (8T Seagate Archive for videos)
which temporarily gives me spare capacity allowing change filesystem for
recordings volumes.
Currently I have 2x4T HDD allocated purely for recordings. Both volumes
are now on ext3.
After years of relaying on ext3 I think it is not best filesystem for
recordings as:
-delete is very throughput expensive
-chkdsk is really long
-starting loosless cut makes hell of:
TFW(/myth/tv/21101_20150630054000.ts:67): write(57152) cnt 35 total
2079656 -- took a long time, 2571 ms
So what FS will be better: XFS or JFS or ...?
I think following criteria should be compared:
1.concurrency (frequently I have 8-10 concurrent HD recordings);
2.CPU consumption under high FS load;
3.reliability (I don't have UPS and sometimes power is lost when many
recordings are ongoing);
4.stability/maturity (i.e. recovery from bad/deep FS corruption);
5.any other I forgot..
