ext3 has always worked for me when not using xfs.<br><br>Also, if you have a bit more money to burn, why not consider RAID-10 over RAID-5? RAID-5 comes from a time when disks were expensive and n+1 redundancy was a lot cheaper than n+n. Nowadays n+n on desktop drives is cheap enough, and software RAID-10 is going to be way faster than RAID-5.<br>

Having just had a near-death experience with my non-RAID LVM system<br>
for Myth, I am about to convert everything to a RAID-5 setup (software<br>
RAID) with LVM on top. Before I go ahead does anyone have any<br>
recommendations on best choice of file system to use, given that it<br>
will be within LVM on RAID-5? I was going to go with XFS, but that<br>
cannot be shrunk, which (as I have found) can be very irritating when<br>
trying to reorganise your disks in an LVM. I know there are a bunch of<br>
hot new file systems out now, but I? wary of trying something new in<br>
an a setup like this.<br>
