Thank you Jim.

I do not have a say to the target OS.... :-(

I thought that there were "provision' with the OS to have third parties
FS.

I am hoping that there is a way to get ReiserFS or ext3 to work on
Windows.

Best Regards

Hi,
On the project that I am working on we need to store and retrieve files
as
fast as possible. The size of the file are mostly large, 1 Mb to a
100Mb.
To get some decent performance we will store our data onto a RAID0
disk.
We
do not really care what will happen to the data in case of a crash.
I am trying to find a way to get even more performance out of system. I
am
more specifically interested in the performance gain we can get by
using a
different filesystem, or maybe tweak NTFS.
We need performance. That is it. No journaling, no security. just
performance.
Are there other filesystem supported by Windows XP and Vista? ReiserFS
maybe?
Are there changes that we can make to get more performance out of our
NTFS
file system? Like I said we could maybe get rid of the security and the
journaling support.
We have already increase the block size, we need some other options.

Best Regards
-Martin

You should start with 10,000 rpm disks. After you have these installed
and
working, you can investigate the software options.
AFAIK, the only filesystems which XP or Vista support are FAT and NTFS.
I would also look for a newsgroup for real time data acquisition. It
seems
to me that what you need is a single user single tasking OS.

I don't know if customers can use some other file system. But, I will say
that it is extremely difficult to get a multi-user multi-tasking operating
system to write data in real time.
