[sorry for the mis-threading... I joined this list after this thread had run its course]

One argument for a filesystem other than ext2/3 is that those have an 8TB limit. There are currently raid arrays on the market that have a 12TB capacity.

I suppose the RedHat response would be to run GFS? But we only have one server, not a cluster. And it seems overly-complex considering the existence of XFS.

XFS has other advantages too:
 - it's supported by other distros, so there's no vendor lock-in
 - it has a long history with IRIX and now Linux
