I have had the good success with xfs for 2 years of mythtv storage on
7 of my storage groups. I was converting all the rest of my reiserfs
storage groups to xfs but now I will be making them all ext4. ext4 is
fast at large files like xfs and is not slow at deleting like ext3 or
reiserfs. ext4 is also fast at small files unlike xfs which tends to
be slow on operations with thousands of small files.
