I haven't treied anything that big recently with ext3 but you can try
it...though I'm kind of interested now so I might see myself.
Well, just one data point ext3fs works for me on a 270 GB RAID5 (decent
hardware) fileserver.
I recently migrated 2 2TB partitions from XFS to ext3, and have another
5.5TB partition as ext3. I'd prefer XFS, to be honest, but a certain
Linux vendor who's homebase happens to be in my neighborhood doesn't agree
with my preferences.
Reiser, to be frank, scares me. I've heard too many horror stories about
changing on-disk formats and the like. Both ext3 and XFS have very solid,
stable on-disk formats.
