I've got the same opportunity as well -- setting up a new RAID, and having to choose a filesystem. I've used reiser3 and liked it, but I'm weary of reiser4 just because it's so new. My one and only concern is data integrity. CPU use, efficiency, etc are of no concern. It sounds like the reason to use XFS is because of speed, so that doesn't interest me. Are there any filesystems with error-correcting built in? Reiser4 could probably do it with a plugin, but Hans Reiser would probably also tell me that error correction has no place in the filesystem code :) Maybe I'm just paranoid.
