hi i got my hands on a 10tb usb wd drive and want to format it from ntfs to some other linux friendly filesystem, but i got some questions. what would be the best filesystem for this type of stuff (mainly storing music, videos, pictures), and how would i go about it? also how should my fstab look like?

    Can’t really go wrong with ext4 for filesystem.

    Make a partition with fdisk, format it with mkfs. As for fstab make sure to mount it via either disk ID or UUID.

    If you need details just Google it. There’s a shitton of guides out there.
