In my first experience working with MySQL, we were recommended

_In_theory_, for that type of workload (reading/writing fast to/from
large files), probably XFS is best.
But that's just the theory; you have to run benchmarks in your
particular case and see what happens.
Looks like it isnt only theory... And it also works fine on small
files... Lots of people on the official postfix users list have
recommended the usage of XFS on mailservers that use the maildir format.
According to them , the performance gain is substancial..
