I would stay far away from reiser4. From what I can tell, reiser4 may |

never make it into the mainline kernel. Xfs and ext3 are both very |

good choices. Personally I have a /very slight/ preference for xfs, |
| 8 |
because of xfs_fsr and the tuning options available in /proc. |

Partitioning is probably the most important thing you could do for the |
| 15 |
performance of this system. Make a separate filesystem for the |
| 16 |
video work, so it doesn't have to compete for block/extent allocations |
| 17 |
with the rest of your system. |
