For Peter: it doesn't hurt to try XFS. I was able to move to ext3 after<br>my problems without losing any data because I hadn't filled the array<br>beyond the capacity of a single drive on another computer on my LAN yet.

buying extra drives so as to not loose the 400 gigs of programming she
had accumulated. XFS has one big down side which is you can't reduce
the filessytem size. Which doesn't seem like a problem till you need
to reconfigure something and have to had more disk space to do it even
though you have 90% of your raid empty of data.<br>
