[linux-audio-user] filesystem performance

[LinuxMedia]

Greetings,

I remember some talk a while ago about different filesystems and their 
performance. All my partitions are formatted as reiserfs and I get 
terrible performance. I've done tons of tests, bought a 7200 RPM drive, 
bought more ram, worked with buffer sizes... So I'm assuming that I need 
to format my drive as another filesystem.

I also put the following entry in fstab:

none      /tmp        tmpfs     defaults      0 0

I understood this as putting /tmp in ram? I'm getting such poor 
performance that I actually move my sound files in /tmp and work out of 
it while doing multitracking.

Could anyone tell Me what the conclusion was about what is the best 
filesystem for these kinds of heavy recording loads?

Thanks,
Rocco
