I don't believe that ext2 supports TRIM. If you do any moving or deleting, then you want a filesystem that supports the TRIM command.

| Dec 17, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | Ulrich Schwarz | Way back when, it was possible to influence the number of inodes in the filesystem (at mkfs time), with mostly big files, you have fewer files, so you need fewer inodes. But I can't see that making a big difference. | |
| Dec 17, 2015 at 6:45 | comment | added | muru | A couple of journals I checked were 128 MB, so, I guess 1-2%?. You would be much better off freeing up reserved space in ext4. | |
| Dec 17, 2015 at 6:42 | comment | added | Móż | @muru I'd be happy with even 1%. I've already cranked back the reserved space to zero, because it's not a system disk. I'm on "squeeze every last byte", because the effort of doing that is a once-off thing paid back by another few music tracks. | |

| Dec 17, 2015 at 6:35 | comment | added | muru | How much do you hope to gain by losing the journal? | |
