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

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! Larry Troxler
