After tinkering with Ext4 I did some research and tested other file systems on my new disk arrays. I’ve concluded that XFS, once tuned, is the best file system for my needs and it could well be the best file system for your needs too.

Benchmarks Here are some benchmarks. http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/comparing-boot-performa...
