Frank,
I use ext3 with noatime for vice partitions and try to limit servers to
less than 2 TB per server for servers housing research data and .5 TB per
server for servers housing home volumes. This has worked well so far.
Outside AFS, I use xfs for filesystems over 2 TB, but as I said, I
currently try to limit each server to no more than 2 TB. When/if I have
more than a few TBs per server, I'd probably use xfs. ext3 is exponentially
painful as the size increases.
My $0.02.
Cheers, Stephen

Ok ... I replaced my beloved XFS by reiserfs (3), created a volume
containing 190000 files. Removing its backup clone took 54s which is more
than 500 times faster (considered, the time needed by the operation depends
on the # of files only) than on XFS.
I'll take the chance to ask everyone about their filesystem preferences for
(namei-) AFS data partitions. I'm especially interested in things like "I
used XYfs but moved to YZfs because of XX". Please write about non-linux
servers filesystem preferences, too.
Thank you in advance,
Frank
