File System

[Arpan]

Does the file system being used by the O.S. (i.e. FAT32 or NTFS) play a major role as far as executing ASP.NET applications are concerned? Or in other words, does the NTFS file system enhance the performance of ASP.NET applications?

Thanks,

Arpan

In theory, NTFS should be marginally (but pretty much unnoticeably) slower,
but in the real world the tiny performance hit is vastly outweighed by the
benefits you gain from enhanced security,

I would never advise deploying a website on a FAT volume

Why FAT when NTFS exist!
At the same time it depends on the OS u are using...
