Hi, all --
I am building a system for fast transfer of video files from MicroSD cards, and I am looking for tunables advice. It will also be my everyday desktop, since I can't afford two machines, but its primary mission is to move data fast.
My plan is to use 15.1 and, without starting another religious war :-) and after the convenient recent file system discussion, leave my beloved ReiserFS to use XFS for the large data partition. The box has a single Ryzen CPU, an m.2 SSD, 16G of RAM that I will bump to 32G as soon as funding permits, 10 gigabit motherboard USB, and a second 10 gigabit USB daughter card.
As well as the answers you get here, it might be worth asking on the XFS list as to how best to tune the filesystem. IIRC there are various tweaks possible with XFS, some of which may involve reformatting.
I'm limited to this hardware by budget, so there isn't much else that I can do there, but I wonder about parameters and settings in the OS or perhaps the file system config. Are there any knobs to turn to speed moving data across the bus? Is there a better version or even -- gasp -- a better flavor for this kind of work? Any suggestions in general?
TIA & HAND
