   Any way to make #ntfs-3g less resource hungry? Backing up big files from old !Debian server to usbdisk, CPU is the bottleneckk !GNU !linux

     I'd be more than happy to use #ext4, but need to use that drive also with Windows and OSX, and afaik #ntfs is the only choice (or not?) :-(

     @esdaniel Thanks for the link! I'll try to defragment, disable compression on the drive and using the big_writes #mount option

     @mmm I'll give #UDF a try, but googling seems that there's still some gotchas. Maybe there's no better solution than #NTFS atm, must adapt

     @clacke @boneidol it's frustrating: #FAT can't deal with files bigger than 4 GB. Maybe #exFAT?Never tried,but I read of patents troubles :-(
