Ext4 offers better performance for large files. This is especially |
| 23 |
notable when you remove them but other operations are faster, too. XFS |
| 24 |
would be the traditional large-file choice but since the arrival of |
| 25 |
Ext4, I don't see a point in putting up with its quirks anymore. |
