From our storage admins: "One advantage of having most of the obsolete-but-keep-it-i-might-need-it-one-day data not on a local filesystem is that in the rare event of system crash you will not have to wait for fsck to complete, as it must be done for local disks.

Go ZFS ? We ditched fsck over a decade ago. There used to be an Atos admin on this list who had a pretty impressive Cyrus user base on NFS / NetApp and who was rather pleased with that. Of course you would not put your mailboxes.db and other I/O critical structures on NFS but why not the Cyrus metadata ?
