I'm going to swap file systems and give it a shot right now! :)
How is stability of XFS? I heard recovery is easier with ext2/3 due to
more people using it, more tools available, etc?

Recovery is actually easier with XFS because the repair filesystem code is
built-into the kernel (you dont need a utility to fix it)-- however, there
is xfs_repair (if) the in-kernel-tree part could not fix it.
I have been using it for > 4-5 years? now.
Also, with CoRaids (ATA over Ethernet) many of them are above 8TB and ext3
only works up to 8TB, so its not even an option any longer.
