[myth-ie] filesystem of choice?

[Glen Gray]

That's actually one of the main benefits I'd read about with XFS when  
I looked into what was the best performing FS for my MythTV box.

It deletes a 4Gb recording almost immediately with no performance  
issues. And to be honest, this is probably the main noticeable usage  
scenario that you'll get any benefit out of XFS.
