| Post subject: | Large files filesystem. |
Hi. I got a new USB drive ( 1Tb ) that i will use to store videos. And i have a problem. What file system to use? I have tried most of them but i run in to problems with large files. Fat32 Was on the disk and that does not work. XFS Cant copt big files to it ( 1Gb files does not work. ) Ext3 Cant copt big files to it ( 1Gb files does not work. ) NTFS Did not work at all. I could not even create a directory on it. Or could it be that im charing the directory were i mount the disk with Samba? And then tries to copy to it from a windows machine? So. What filesystem to use. If its any of the above how do i set it up so it can handle big files (+4gb)? I have searched the forum and google for 2 days now and tested everything i can find. But no luck. |

Probably. First, I think you need to enable lfs in samba. Ex. "mount -t smbfs -o lfs //server/share /localdir". Second, windows is full of 1, 2, 4 GB, etc. limitations. Ex. are you copying to a FAT32 filesystem or trying to run a problem like winzip?
And then tries to copy to it from a windows machine? |

Both ext3 and XFS handle files over 1 gig w/o issue. XFS would be my first recommendation. ext3 if you were planning on using LVM. |

Would you suggest XFS or JFS? I have not seen many suggestions either way, other than one benchmark that showed JFS to be faster. |

I use both XFS and JFS in my current system. This was a test to see if one or the other performed better in real life situations. I haven't noticed any difference between the two. They are both far superior than EXT. Regards, Kirk. |
