There's no option to increase the reliability of the system. The options |
| 20 |
are all there to match the file system to suit your specific data. |
| 21 |
Things like number of files vs average size of files, how many inodes |
| 22 |
will you need, block size, what is your reading and writing profile, do |
| 23 |
you create and/or delete many files at one time, etc etc |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There's not much people on this list can do to help you with this beyond |
| 26 |
explaining how options work. I recommend you get out the ext4 man pages |
| 27 |
and read them all from beginning to end several times. Then analyse your |
| 28 |
own data needs and make a decision. |
