Ray, I've had good performance from xfs with large filesystems. What kind of files are you looking to use, lots of smaller files or large media files??
I was leaning towards using XFS as well. We'll probably be handling a lot of large files (VMware datastore).
In my initial tests the iSCSI target (tgtd) appears to run quite quickly, whereas the NFS daemon gets bogged down and results in high system load.
I'm not yet sure if I should be usin tgtd[1] or IET (iSCSI Enterprise Target[2]).
Thanks, Ray
