WHy not btrfs? I am testing a 24TB physical server and ext4 creation 
took forever while btrfs was almost instant. I understand it's still 
experimental (I hear storing virtual disk images on btrfs still has 
unresolved performance problems) but vm disk storage should be fine.
FWIW I have been using btrfs as my /home at home for some time now;
so far so good.
