Seems like a good idea. This guy doesn't even mention XFS, while it's
more or less the only viable option for big filesystems (more than 8TB).
I currently use 30, 40TB XFS filesystems that work just fine.

I've already compared all filesystems : XFS works great for big
filesystems. JFS works well too, however it lacks a defragmenting
utility which is quite a problem for big filesystems with lots of write
activity. reiserfs 3.6 simply breaks over 4TB; mkfs.ext3 is so slow
than it's a problem from the start, then the performance is abysmal.
