With xfs and > everything else identical, it typically locks up within 10 minutes. I re-ran the test using btrfs (not that I would use it in production, but just as another comparison). No lockup after over 24 hours either. So for now I am converting these boxes to ext4. I should soon have another test box with 24 disks that I can reformat as XFS, if something changes and you'd like me to retest it. I'd still like to use XFS at some point in the future because this is running gluster on top, and the gluster people recommend XFS and do most of their testing with it.
