Recommended Workstation Filesystem?
posted by Mike Rochefort on Nov. 10, 2016, 1:11 p.m.

One of the things that I'm still very novice with is filesystems. I'm looking into transferring a workstation over to CentOS 7, and although I can get myself up and running quickly, I don't know which filesystem is best to choose: Ext 4 or XFS.

Over in the Foundry's community, Ext 4 has been recommended (I always get the warning of using XFS from Mari). I've only ever used used XFS in setting up and trying things out, however. I know the general differences between the two, but for a workstaion running the following apps: Maya, Houdini, Modo, Mari, Substance, Nuke, Fusion, Redshift, RenderMan, with the following storage setup, what would you recommend?

  • 2x 250GB SSD
  • 1x 120GB SSD
  • 3x 1TB HDD (2 of which are  currently software RAID0)

Thanks,

Mike Rochefort
