Bugger, hit enter too soon, was going to say, it is probably better than using EXT4 though, why on earth anyone would use that on a serious production server I'll never know.
I used to have the maildirs on ReiserFS and never had a problem with it, but given the current state of that FS and that I weren't really comfortable with it, I'll give XFS a try for the maildir array and the postfix queue partition. After formating, I got 4.6 Tb of usable space, which makes me happy, and also the dynamic inode allocation.

P.S. I have UPS and generator.
