ZFS is the best I know for filesystems >= 2 TB and in case you need flexible snapshots. ZFS has just one single problem, it is slow in case you ask it to verify a stable FS state, UFS is much faster here, but this ZFS "problem" is true for all filesystems on Linux because of the implementation of the Linux buffer cache.
And BTW: ZFS is based on the COW ideas I made in 1988 and the NetApp patents are also just based on my master thesis without giving me credit ;-)
Jorg,
Given your expertise then, can you say how mature/stable/usable is ZFS on Linux, specifically CentOS? That's what everybody is probably most interested in.
