Sounds to me like you just ought to try it out. You're not making a strategic decision for the future, you can always change to something else.
JFS is a mature filesystem that just works and works and works. IIRC, Backblaze (storage provider) used to swear by JFS.
Why would one select JFS before XFS for large RAID data storage? Arrays larger than 50-TB, for example.
Because that's not the problem.
ReiserFS is *very* good at dealing with lots of small files - something which *most* filesystems have problems.
If you have a 50TB filesystem FULL of files with an average size of, say, 4K, what will that do to XFS performance?
XFS can cope with that, but worse than Reiserfs. Which makes me wonder: How difficult is for a user to use R4? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
