And it's a single partition and so EXT3 it is. I don't intend to reformat it anytime soon. The disk I'm discussing formatting is an external WD "MyBook" 1TB drive. It will be connected via ESATA to a headless 64-bit 1.2Ghz ITX box, or via FireWire to the laptop. So I guess the filesystem might not be the bottlenack anyway. Keeping it simple: tried and true EXT3. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
