Bingo! We need

a. Pass/fail performance criteria
b. Pass/fail data loss criteria
c. Pass/fail security criteria

and code to drive them all. My area of expertise is strictly
performance. I'd be happy to contribute tests and analysis, although I
suspect Phoronix may have everything needed.

Let's say a three-way bakeoff - btrfs, ext4 and xfs (since IIRC xfs is
a default in some RHEL configurations). Let me know if you want me to
resurrect any of my 2009 stuff on disk performance.
