My concern with xfs, reiser or jfs is not really how good they are, but how well they are implemented/supported in CentOS.
My application is a huge backup-to-disk samba-accessed storage. Performance and fsck-caused downtime are not important to me. Integrity of the data is critical.
I need the most reliable multi-TB filesystem I can use with CentOS/RHEL.
And it's hard to choose between the better-but-less-supported xfs/reiser/... or the well-supported but not that multi-TB-friendly ext3...
We usually have the same issue - and so far the answer has always been ext3 simply because its easier to support. Gladly so far we haven't hit the 4TB limit (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html)... always ended up making sliceses smaller than that for individual uses.
