We're using ext4. We try to recycle filesystems reasonably regularly (add a new replica, sync everyone up, wipe the old replica), and never let them get more than about 90% full. Mount options are: rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nobarrier,commit=120,data=ordered (we use devices with battery backed caches, so barrier isn't necessary - obviously change that if you're not) The long commit interval is probably pointless given how liberal Cyrus is with fsyncs - it's more there to stop temporary files causing IO until they do get an fsync - in case they are never kept.
