1 Hi,
2
3 I bought two identical external harddrives, USB 3.0, with 1 TByte each
4 (no SSD - the good ole mechanical ones...;).
5
6 The intended use is for backup of longer files. The drives will
7 contain the same contents.
8
9 Currently there are still "clean metal" (no partitioning, no fs).
10
11 Data integrity and recoverability (Uhhh...that words looks wrong...) in
12 case of an desaster is more important than speed.
13
14 What is the recommended way of partitioning ?
15 What filesystem to choose?
16
17
18 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
19 Best regards,

23 PS: Running vanilla kernel 3.15.1....
