Having worked for a large film and television post-production facility in London for just over six years, XFS has been the primary filesystem for all our servers. Much of the data was split across multiple disk servers - each with around 2-3Tb of data. The whole filesystem was presented to the workstations over NFS with scripts to manage links to the different file servers - presenting a unified filesystem to the artist. XFS had given us the performance and reliability required and has gotten us out of some nasty scrapes.
Well, XFS was designed exactly for the kind of scenario you're describing. No wonder it performs really well in that sort of situation.
Thanks to all for your help. I decided to go with XFS, since it could be loaded as a module and I have worked with it on SGI platforms for years.
Thanks again.
