[ale] Filesystem preferences

[James P. Kinney III]

xfs is the only choice. It was designed for moving huge files around and
it does so _very_ efficiently.  ext3 is a good, "best of all worlds"
choice. It won't be too slow, or handle gigantic files super fast. 

Raid5, LVM and xfs are the standard parts for storing terrabyte files
for movie productions and scientific data.
