Actually, XFS is very fast at deleting very large files. I know, i do DVD authoring all the time, Ext3 is simply ludicrous when deleting a lot of very large project files, you have to wait and wait and wait... With XFS, even a 50GB project gets deleted instantaneously. Also, when writing real fast to really big files (think: video capture) pretty much nothing beats XFS. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
