[mythtv-users] Fastest file system

[avarakin at optonline.net]

I used to run XFS and was getting FS corruptions from time to time, which 
required mounting read-only and running fsck. It was especially a lot of fun 
if root partition got corrupted. 
Why did I have the corruptions? Well, I have quite a few PCs at home so having 
UPS for all of them is not practical, also I want to figure out better FS for 
use at work, so pulling a plug sometimes was intentional ;-)  
I installed ReiserFS3 on all my PCs and so far never had a problem. 
I don't really care if it is slower on deleting huge files: if I have time to  
watch a 2 GB show, I guess I can find couple of seconds to delete it.
On the other end, fixing FS errors after crash defeats the whole purpose of 
running Linux: I want my system rock solid and fixing FS errors is not an 
option for me.
