Status: 4TB hard disk with four(4) 1TB gpt partitions
allocated for CUDA development in scientific
linux 6.5 with NVidia 750 Ti as GPU card
and NVidia FX 1800 serving 2 lcd displays
nb: >2TB disk, therefor 64-bit gpt
Exploring 64-bit file formats
gfs2 - might work in standalone workstation?
ext4 - 64-bit with journaling,nano time stamps?
ntfs - works with ntfs-3g but nothing new?
xxxx - other high performace format?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Created file system for each 1TB partition of 4TB
#su
#mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1
#mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd2
#mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd3
#mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd4
