File System
There is no particular file system that you are required to use. On Linux you could use ext2, ext3, ext4 or xfs. On Windows choose NTFS. Keep the following in mind:
• Some file systems have a maximum file size (for example, ext3 has a 2 TB file size limit) and for a very large table a single file (for one column) may grow very large.
• Choose an XFS file system on Linux if you need maximum flexibility for your file size.
