If a fast filesystem is upmost, try ext2. It's numbers are impressive, |
| 2 |
it is the standard. |

|

The only difference between it and ext3 is the journaling, which |
| 5 |
allows for a fast recovery if you have a power outage or something. |
| 6 |
The only downside of ext2 is that the disk checking after something |
| 7 |
like a power outage is slow. |
