1TB 2TB HDD Setup

[naverave]

Hey guys,

I have an old but stable 1TB and a recently bought 2TB external hdd. I will exclusively use them with r-pi and mac.

So I am thinking of using 1TB for Time Machine HFS+Journaled, 1TB partition from 2TB HDD as a second backup for Time Machine HFS+Journaled.

So now I am left with 1TB for media etc and using it with the pi.

I was thinking of making a 500GB partition with ext4 file system to use with pi, download media on it and use it with XBMC.

The other 500GB will prolly be HFS+ Not Journaled to use with both mac and linux for keeping organized and crucial data etc.

I am just wondering if this is the right way to go especially for performance in linux with 500GB partition with ext4. Any ideas on implementation and performance would be helpful. 500GB ext4 will be used for transmission torrenting, couchpotato or flexget etc. and maybe make it a network drive. I have implemented most of these things separately but now trying to establish a functional system.

Thank you for your ideas.
