Hello All
I have a brand spanking new 40TB Hardware Raid6 array to play around with. I am looking for recommendations for which filesystem to use. I am trying not to break this up into multiple file systems as we are going to use it for backups. Other factors is performance and reliability.
We've been very happy with XFS, as it allows us to add diskspace through LVM and grow the filesystem online - we've had to reboot the server when we add new diskenclosures, but that's not XFS's fault...

CentOS 5.6
array is /dev/sdb
So here is what I have tried so far reiserfs is limited to 16TB ext4 does not seem to be fully baked in 5.6 yet. parted 1.8 does not support creating ext4 (strange)
Anyone work with large filesystems like this that have any suggestions/recommendations?
