I am creating a 4TB RAID5 array for storage of my music/movies/documents and I am wondering what the best filesystem would be.

The server will be built on CentOS and it will use software RAID.

Does it make a big difference which file system I use?

not really - the best is the most stable for that build. ZFS is really nice IF STABLE; XFS is really nice IF STABLE.

buggy filesystems lead to corruption and well that would suck.
