> Mail servers with high I/O won't get much (if any) of a performance boost. It's an i/o issue not something that ext4 can help you with except possibly a faster fsck if things go down. Things like delayed allocation.. extents.. Don't help with millions of tiny files. 
> 
> Faster drives and hardware raid with write cache. Better if you can have multiple disk sets and spread i/o around. 

Do you think that under VMware ESXi it would be better or worse to migrate to ext4?
