For now that will not affect any user, only the manufacturer. And yes, they could put ext2 on a digital camera. Maybe this patent will prompt them to do just that. sincerely, Joshua On 1/26/06, b.n. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Joshua Schmidlkofer wrote: > > Yeah, use ext2 for all of that: > > > > http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/projects/projects.htm > > http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm > > http://www.fs-driver.org/ > > > > All of those are supposed to worik, and I am trying them out now. > > Ok, but what do we do with digital cameras?

Yeah, use ext2 for all of that: http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/projects/projects.htm http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm http://www.fs-driver.org/ All of those are supposed to worik, and I am trying them out now. good luck, joshua On 1/23/06, Antoine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Personally I use ext3 for everything except windows partitions.

It is supported, it is reasonably fast, it has a defragmenter, it has repair tools that are not only supported, but known to work It has ways to optimize for extremely large filesystems, and, though it won't win speed records in some areas, it holds it's own. I have been using it since 2000. I even use it for boot, but there is no reason for that. This year I began running most of my fs's in sync mode, except for highly active data shares. This has actually had very little impact at all. When I run upgrades, I remount async, but I have found that sync mode does not cause horrible slowness, and frankly kicks ass. I even run my desktops in sync mode. I have used ext2 tons, ext3 enough to dislike it, reiserfs and jfs. I have tested most all of them on production servers. Last year we re building a new database server with JFS. It is a dual opteron, and at length we ran into a few problems where we got no real errors, but JFS would spit out something random and remount the fs readonly. Memtest, this that the other - none of it worked. We ended up using XFS. So, since we are on the topic of flame wars... and there is this random FS post, theres my two cents.Thanks, Joshua
