</div> From a short test, ext4 still is considerable slower on that as XFS. I<br>
use xfs on software-raid which didn't ever give me troubles.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br><div><br></div><div>I have a 3 year old mdadm RAID 5 array with XFS using the latest version Ubuntu over the years. It started with 3 750gb drives in 2008, and now it's up to 6 (3.5 TB). I had some unusual hardware failures in the early days, but it was due to lack of cooling. Through it all I haven't lost any data. Every time I get down to 500GB free, I just add a drive. I even had to add a daughter card to get more SATA slots, and it grew and performs just fine across that as well. For what I'm doing, it works well. If I were to build it today, I would look into some sort of NAS box (like a DROBO or something), but I'm not sure if I'd change now. </div>
