I'd still have the remote check on your cable line done.  Use XFS or JFS
if you're going to be storing over 200 GB's in a single directory.  Both
of these handle this situation well.  XFS for me has shown better
results overall, but some people think JFS is more stable than XFS.
I've been using both for years with no problems, so it's just opinion.
Stay away from ReiserFS though at all costs if you're going to store
more than 200 GB's in a single directory.
