   Hard to go wrong with EXT4, esp on a 'home system'.

   However some ZFS features might be useful in a
   larger, biz, environment. Lots of people love
   the 'snapshot' feature - kind of an easy backup.

   I've fooled with ZFS from time to time but the
   complexity-vs-gain equation never seemed to
   justify it. Now if you had 500 concurrent
   users ......... ?
