recommended filesystem for kolab

[Bernhard Reiter]

As your post is about a recommended filesystem,
there is no strict recommendation except for that the filesystem
should be local, so that Cyrus and Postfix can work quickly
and that  you should consider filesystemcheck time.
Note that Cyrus deals with a lot of smaller files and does not work over NFS
or most other network filesystems.

Otherwise general pros and cons for filesystems apply.

Personally I've set up ext3 and XFS. With ext3 I've heard that a filesystem 
check can be quite long, so you would possible need to tune it.
