Ext2 or Ext3
Hi
I upgraded my DNS-323 with 2 Samsung Ecogreen 2Tb (HD203WI) and also updated my Firmware from 1.05 to 1.08.
Before i used Ext2 because it was the only option, but now its possible to use Ext3.
I also know that Ext3 was disabled in earlier Firmware because of corrupted data.
My question, which is the best filesystem to use ? (Have they fixed the problems with ext3 ???)
I prefer safety before performance (use it for backup)

Re: Ext2 or Ext3
Ok i red about someone got corrupted data on Ext3 in FW 1.01 so i was a little bit worried about that, dont want to loose data.
But which filesystem is to prefere if you use your NAS for backup storage ?

As I know:
Ext2 a bit faster
Ext3 has a journaling to prevent data loss.

As I recall it - ext3 was disabled because of data corruption issues, which have since been fixed.

Re: Ext2 or Ext3
..so what did you choose micro?
the setup info tells that ext2 has best performance and ext3 is most stable.
I chose ext3 now because I can hardly imagine that the file system would cause any more performance drop (my best values so far are around 10-15mbs reading/writing from/to network share on the nas)

I choosed Ext3 because i want stable system before performance. And i also got around 10-15mb/s
I hope they fixed all problems they had with Ext3 in earlier firmwares.
