Urgh forget it. I just realized that my PC is to old for USB3
Here I have this i7 superduper gaming machine - and it is to old already

Re: Hey I got a birthday present -LaCie Porsche
I've just been looking around about the pre-installed software on, for example, Seagate Free Agent, and saw some linux user(s) advised just format away the original controlling software and use is as an external storage device. On filesystem, I always use reiserfs, have had, virtually, no problems. YMMV
Don't have any experience with USB3 but, maybe, you could get a pci(e) card. There was one post I recently read with some points here:
Not getting USB 3.0 speeds
Happy birthday!
Re: Hey I got a birthday present -LaCie Porsche
Thank you! If I could remember it, I would tell you how old I am
I think I will go for that card. It seems like those problems were solved. The first rsync of our superduper backupscript takes way to much time (the second one was done in seconds of course).
And yes formating it with the internal software in Windows (NTFS) works just fine! Thanks!

Re: Hey I got a birthday present -LaCie Porsche
Happy Birthday, Boss! Like rolf, soon as I buy any external drive, the very first thing I do is format it reiserfs!

Well call me crazy but I don't like this guy:
And this is not peachy either:

Re: Hey I got a birthday present -LaCie Porsche
I've heard of the murder (in the town where I live). The filesystem he authored "just works" (where have I heard that? ) for me, has done for over 11 years. I am not aware of the lack of features I don't use, atm. The future is uncertain but there is some work still being done to make a patch for kernel-3
(I have some curiosity about reiser4 as it reports some performance benefits, along with the stability I've experienced.)
It's not my role to enact "justice" by boycotting something useful, afaik. Others have and continue to contribute to this code, for now. Unfortunately, the personality of the creator of this filesystem makes future development more uncertain, such is the focus of the common detractor, perhaps unlikely but I will use it as long as it's working for me, as long as there is no sensible reason to migrate to another.

I do have the stuff against .39, and, I guess, it also works for 3.0
However an old bug still takes place, which has become rather
annoying after pdflush has been removed in .30
The common idea is that I wouldn't like to put buggy stuff for
public needs.
Thanks,
Edward.

Re: Hey I got a birthday present -LaCie Porsche
Yes I can see that it is your baby. And I have never used it so I have no clue. But according to some other discussion here you can re size your partitions without loosing data.
With ext4 I have not been so lucky. But on everyday use I am happy with ext4.
So I will respect your conservative attitude sticking with the stuff that works. That is exactly what I do too
(I am a bit curious about that Reiser stuff though,since it is used by gurus) So one day I will test it.
Funny how reluctant one is to make a change - I can really feel my body protesting.

Of course, "guru" does not apply as I am just reporting successful personal experience, so far, including resizing (I favor the impressive (again, my (limited) experience) gparted over diskdrake, now, when there is some choice). The risks are high, so conservative, however that translates from individual observations, is reasonable.

Right - that's what Gurus do
I also prefer gparted, noting is better. But I have fallen on my nose even with that when my / has been full (on ext4).

7 years and counting here. I don't care about lack of features. I use the ones it does have, and they work very well. That's all I care about.
It's not up to me to judge his personal life, or his general standards. It's up to me what he does with my Linux file system, and he does it extremely well.
