[sf-lug] filesystem for a 3TB external USB drive

[jim]

    What an interesting topic. I hope some of the gurus 
will suggest two or three good possibilities. I'll be 
particularly interested in btrfs discussion. 
    I suppose you want to use the entire space as a 
single partition. 
    Do you have any additional parameters such as 
* lots of small files 
* some huge files 
* need journaling 
* need access speed above all other things 
* ...
