How can I tell?

My next question was going to be about filesystems. 8-)

Ext3 has so far with 1.5TB worked fine and had decent performance, if not a 
speed demon. Xfs isn't supported yet I think in CentOS. Zfs focuses mainly on 
really big files IIRC. Ext4 would maybe have been a good choice, but isn't 
supported in CentOS either if I'm not mistaken.

I'd prefer sticking with CentOS and BPC, as both are relatively known now at 
the IT-department, ie me. 8-) Any particular reason I should look into 
Nexentastor? The Zfs?
