I'm no file system guru but that will help inform people on what you |
| 63 |
will be using it for. The people on this list that do use all sorts of |
| 64 |
different file systems can now offer better advice on what might best |
| 65 |
suite you. Someone a good while back had a huge video or something that |
| 66 |
was causing trouble and if I recall correctly it was because of some |
| 67 |
file system limitation or something to that effect. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Give the thread a day or so so that others can chime in with advice. |
| 70 |
Some people are in different time zones, some answer at home, some at |
| 71 |
work etc etc so it takes a bit to let the gurus catch up. |
