I had a terrible XFS crash early on with myth.  Basically the FS 
collapsed without warning, losing all data on a 500 GB RAID and locking 
up the server.

I've replaced it with JFS and have had no problems since.

I run jfs on a RAID-5 and ext3 on RAID-5.  I'd recommend both/either.

The performance of JFS is OK; I've not noticed any performance 
problems.  Mostly my backend is CPU and memory bound.
