[linux-audio-user] is ext3 ok for real-time / low-latency?

[Larry Troxler]

Well, since my installation (mostly RedHat 7.1) was getting to be a big mess, 
with bits and pieces from different places, I decided the best way to get a 
working C++ compiler was to get a new drive and do a fresh redhat 8.0 
installation :-)

My immediate question: is ext3 bad news for real-time work? I saw some 
linux-audio-dev list messages from people who were having freezes using it.

Should I convert my filesystem back to ext2 (assuming there is a way) or not?

Which one in theory (assuming no bugs which seems to be the cause for the 
freeze) should be better for low-latency work?

Thanks in advance!
