DCI specifies that the distribution drives should be formatted as EXT2 (with an inode size of 128). While many servers will accept FAT32 formatted rives as well, it is best to follow the specification to ensure compatibility with all server types. Drives can be USB (will result in slower ingestions), DVD (will also be slow) or CRU drives – which will be the fastest. Copy all the files created by QMX, without any changes, to the distribution drive. EXT2 formatted drives may be created using a Linux machine or using EXT2 management applications.
