Also, if you don't mind living a little dangerously, ZFS on 7 Current (soon to
be release) seems to work very well. (it is its own file system that can be
for raid or just as a filesystem)
Also the Gjournal, gournaled file system is on 7 as well (which can safely be
used async as well as noatime), but it seems to be being overshadowed by ZFS.
It will be interesting seeing how 7 fairs with squid as it is a pretty big
rewite in some ways. I have been testing it and it seems to work quite well.
