I don't need quite such large filesystems as my largest is just under 4TB, 
and my system will probably max out around 7TB, but I need a filesystem 
that is maintained (Namesys had basically abandoned reiserfs in favor of 
reiser4 well before Hans' current troubles started), and has good 
all-around performance characteristics (I have both large source trees, 
invloving a multitude of directories and small-ish files AND a 
video "library" containing very large files in my /home).  I would also 
like to see some support for the "tail packing" of resiserfs -- It's not 
that important, but last I checked one saved over 100MB by the portage 
tree on reiserfs AND mini-benchmarks like emerge --sync and 
find '/usr/portage' > /dev/null actually ran faster than ext3.

That said, I'm very encouraged about ext4, and will probably migrate some 
unimportant data over to that filesystem in near future and perform my own 
bonnie++ tests.
