I have a server 5 existing ext3 partitions on a dmraid array with several hundred gig of unpartitioned space. I have created the new partition and I'm about the create the filesystem. With ext4 now available, is there any reason I shouldn't go ahead and create the filesystem as ext4? It will simply be another data partition to supplement /home that was created rather small to begin with.

No. There is no reason not to use ext4. It's a good all-around
filesystem. Google are in the process of moving from ext2 to ext4.

Now, give me a reason why you should listen to me?
