Of Raids and Backups
RAID is old news with drives approaching 4 TB or surpassing. Having multiple storage devices on a network is safer. It's wasted resources packing mutiple drives in a single point of failure!
What really matters is the performance Virtual Machines experience on the file-systems.
I always figured JFS was a better solution because of the low performance overhead.
This frees up CPU cycles for the Virtuals.
That's one test I'd like to see; perhaps it's being tested but I don't recall seeing the statistics.
Just from my experience alone, I've noticed I can't tell much difference in any of them: Ext4, JFS, XFS, BTRFS
