My next question was going to be about filesystems. 8-)
Ext3 has so far with 1.5TB worked fine and had decent performance, if not a
speed demon. Xfs isn't supported yet I think in CentOS. Zfs focuses mainly on
really big files IIRC. Ext4 would maybe have been a good choice, but isn't
supported in CentOS either if I'm not mistaken.
I'd prefer sticking with CentOS and BPC, as both are relatively known now at
the IT-department, ie me. 8-) Any particular reason I should look into
Nexentastor? The Zfs?
