Hi all,

I've a 30TB hardware based RAID array.

Wondering what you all thought of using ext4 over XFS.

I've been a big XFS fan for years as I'm an Irix transplant but would like your opinions.

This 30TB drive will be an NFS exported asset for my users housing home dirs and other frequently accessed files.

We have a 26 TB XFS partition. Works like a charm.

What I really like - the initialization time is only a couple of minutes (as opposed to many hours on a 4 TB ext3 partition every time the OS does an fsck on it).
