I so agree with that sentiment. My view is like if I need that extra space
then I'll get a bigger or more drives. 60G sounds like a lot until you look
at the fact you almost have a TB of space.
My primary concern is usually reliability, and recoverability goes hand in
hand with that. When a filesystem has issues with recovering (or not loosing)
data then I don't dare using it. The down time becomes too expensive. Good
ol' ext3 works just fine in that light.
