New server migration

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

Just to add - I installed CentOS 7 on RAID 10 hardware RAID on the new Dell
PowerEdge
I have the OS installed at this point and this is as far as I've gotten
The server has four (4) 2TB NLSAS hot plug hard drives
I installed all filesystems as ext4 -- I allowed Centos to partition
automatically this leaves with a 3.9TB /u file system that is ext4
Would you recommend a different filesystem?
