[wellylug] XFS and JFS

[E Chalaron]

Hi Cliff
Unfortunately not, I cant go around that. They are relatively big files 
(5 M each) of images to be transformed in (usually) a 150 G video file.
Each individual file is written on the HD at a rate of 7 to 8 per 
seconds through firewire.
For whatever reason when I reach the 30000 I start to notice that the OS 
is struggling a bit despite a Raid 0 (2x 500 G) set up.
Was wondering if changing to XFS could fix it or just reformatting md0 
with ext3 big tree option (as suggested previously)
Cheers
E
