I really don't know too much about it. There were some complaints
about it a while back but I think they were mostly problems when the
filesystem started to get full, which you say you know about. Check
the list archives if you want to look into that.
I've read that the "conventional wisdom" is to use JFS but that was a
magazine article that had some other questionable stuff in it so I'd
investigate myself. The main thing was, I think, that JFS could
delete large files quickly, less important now with the slow erases.
