Well... That's two votes for XFS and it does look good for parallelism 
and maturity.

However, ext4 looks to have picked up the good features of XFS plus a 
few others. ext4 also comes out rather well in benchmarking:

Note the good performance for small files and good/comparable 
performance for the big stuff.


Sooo...

I'm jumping in on the newer ext4 :-)


Out of curiosity, anyone using ZFS?

Cheers,
Martin
