XFS has great multi-thread performance and more consistent performance as it fills up. While XFS has proven to be a pretty good, fast filesystem so far no problems and development effort is going, still would recommend the slower ext4 if a proper undelete utility is availabe otherwise ext3 unless you want your NAS to be a webserver not recommended! I found that the problem is really about interfaces between layers. VFS is a filesystem abstraction layer. So, even if some of the filesystems, like ext4, can represent timestamps beyond the year on a bit system, they cannot do so without the VFS layer supporting them.
The Y Problem — cars and embedded systems. So if one disk fails — you still have two disks holding the same data — so you are not in a hurry to replace the broken disk — it can take up to days to sync a raid1 of 2TB disks.
In addition to this i would recommend backing your stuff up automatically via internet. But this is a different difficult topic which should be possible with rsync which is capable of transfering deltas even of larger files.
NO ONE! Zettabyte File System — this is what oracle-datacenters use, was donated by Oracle to the linux project. It is a Bit filesystem developed by Jeff Bonwick. I have a script that transcodes shows into a format usable on my iriver clix2, which dumps to a directory I map to from my Windows laptop and transfer to the media player.
This tells the kernel to allocate MB hunks of space when writing a file. As SD shows are taking 2. It'd blink even less if I were running bit. XFS support is relatively new in the land of Linux, but by 2. I haven't had any corruption problems with it at home or at work. I'm actively in the planning stages of setting up another media server in the back room to supplement the storage on the encoder box.
It might go ext4, but I haven't done anything with that FS yet. XFS is best for storing video because it's very stable and has excellent large file support. It's not even exotic anymore. Samba should be capable of communicating with your windows boxen and myth frontends, but it does not care what filesystem it's data is stored on as long as it can be read by the kernel.
I would pick what ever is the default for distro that you are installing. If you are going to be storing large files primarily, there are some tuning parameters you can set to make this more efficient. For a filesystem that will have mostly large files, I would recommend using XFS. It has great performance for large file sizes and is very mature. However, depending on your distro, it might do you well to put the filesystem on top of LVM so that you can expand your storage seamlessly.
This way you gain fault tolerance and performance while maintaining your ability to scale. Failing the need for direct access, samba will do the trick just fine. Just don't export over samba storage that you've imported over NFS; you'll have file locking problems. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. You won't be able to keep it happy long term without some deep knowledge. It doesn't make things easier. The web interface is pretty and if that's all it was I'd be for it.
But it is it's own offshoot of BSD off the mainline of support. Please don't use it for production. You can do all the same things from whatever Linux distro you choose which comes with a much larger and more mature community to draw on.
I am just going to leave this here. One possible option is to switch to something like a Synology NAS. As others have stated no perfect solution will help you with the ransomware issue. But something like the synology will help with the windows licensing cost. Connects to AD extremely easy. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.

Hope this helps! General Linux expert. The problem with ransomware starts at the workstation. If your users have permission to modify files, and the server where those file are stored is accessible, ransomware on the workstation will happily trash your files on server, regardless of server os. Agree with Kevin. Your question is much like asking, "what's the length of a string? The wrong way — always — to start with Linux is by believing that it's any panacea.
