[CentOS] EXT4 mount issue

[Steve Brooks]

Hi Brent, Thanks for the reply.

I have to make a decision yes, it is not an easy one either, I read have so 
many different reports, opinions that I now feel my brain has become rather 
scrambled.. Wondering now if I should just have smaller filesystems and stick 
with EXT3.. I have never used XFS and have therefore no experience with it and 
this I guess leaves me short of confidence.
