Although XFS is cool in many ways, the port for linux is pretty much
a hack. I work for a company that is doing alot of development with
XFS on Linux, although we are forced to use it, because it works with
LVM growing filesystems etc. ReiserFS supports fs growth, but not over
an LVM.
I suggest ext3, it's the most solid codebase, and provides the best
overall performance. We use it (ext3) for all other products except for
this one that uses LVM (Can't really talk about the product, since
it's still in development).
