RE: [linux-audio-user] The trouble with disks

John, First, is your data disk separate from your system disk? If not, this could be part of your problem. Second, what FS are you using? Ext3 is a bad choice since it puts the journal in a different location from the file. I would recommend using Reiserfs for your data partition. XFS might even be better but I haven't seen any tests on it yet. Ext2 is better than ext3 but still not as good as Reiserfs. Another thing, turn off syslogd, crond, etc before recording.

I read somewhere that ramfs is purely memory based, whereas tmpfs can use disk as backup if it needs to expand. bye John
