_In_theory_, for that type of workload (reading/writing fast to/from
large files), probably XFS is best.
But that's just the theory; you have to run benchmarks in your
particular case and see what happens.

<div class="moz-signature">I haven't used ReiserFS in production. In
practice it's supposed to do intelligent block management to maximise
the capacity of your storage. For example - if you specify blocks of 4k
and your files end up being 1k or smaller the ReiserFS system will
still used the remaining space within each block - very cool indeed!
whereas in the extended filesystem you would potentially loose 3/4 of
your storage capacity if your file ended up being 1k or less. But read
the links that have been posted and make sure you test/test/test :-)<br>
