Why not use the XFS filesystem? Proven high performance with large files, perfect for an htpc.
That's what I thought, but I regret using it for my recordings partition now:
* The big performance advantage in deleting large files seems to have vanished, it now seems slower than ext3
* The partition can't be shrunk
* You're less likely to be able to recover data after partition corruption; I once lost an entire partition because its fsck couldn't make it usable again
