Chris, What is the intended use-case for the file system? - How large will the file system/s be? - How deep will directories be? - How many files per directory? - What will be the size distribution of files across the file system? - How many concurrent users will access the file system? - Is it essential to have case preservation? - What file system I/O performance is required/desired? The answer to your question is: Yes, the file system that will best meet your use-case requirements. cheers, John T. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
