If you are dealing with large files XFS is a better file system since it was designed by SGI to handle large
files.<br></div><div id="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_82391"><br></div><div id="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_18_1382011314801_80">Craig<br></div><div class="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_18_1382011314801_12 yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_86553 yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_88046" id="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_18_1382011314801_13" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"><div id="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_82356" class="yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_82325 yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_86554 yiv3256651287yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1382011314801_88047" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
