hmmm, perhaps I should rethink keeping my mythstore in an ext3 partition over 
software raid :(

From reading on the list a month of two back, I think ext2/3 is the only FS capable of cleanly mapping out dead bits of disk (should it start to go), and I felt I wanted that functionality. That and wanting the power-safety of journalling means I kept ext3 when I had the chance of jumping.

My vague feeling after reading around on it was also that it's also pretty much the most stable. I'll just have to be careful about when I choose to delete big files ...

Doesn't setting the largefiles[4] mkfs option help matters? I went largefiles, maybe I should have done largefiles4. I do see pauses when deleting, but haven't really suffered anything because of it (but then most of my recordings are ~2.5Gb).
