I'm putting in a new storage farm to support my VMware guests, and am wondering what filesystem to use. Anybody done any research into this?
I'm using Windows currently but might switch back to Linux in a bit. The knee-jerk reaction for Windows is NTFS, but one of the curious things about SQL Server is that the prod manager told me one time that FAT was faster because it got out of the way. I'm wondering if the same is true for vmdk files.
