------------------------------------

[~toddpalino], can you please check our current recommendation with regards to the filesystem and see if should be updated with more recent information? Thanks!

> Our documentation currently states that only Ext4 has been tried (by LinkedIn):
> "Ext4 may or may not be the best filesystem for Kafka. Filesystems like XFS supposedly handle locking during fsync better. We have only tried Ext4, though."
> http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#ext4
> I think this is no longer true, so we should update the documentation.
