Server broken while using Zimbra server

You should do some benchmarks on the various filesystem and apply some tuning parameters (search the web for details) to them and see which one suits your requirements.

Does this represent a change in policy from the recommendation found in the Performance Tuning Wiki?

We recommend the ext3 file system for Linux deployments (tried and true, performance for random IO is a wash, gains only in blob store for other file systems).

No it doesn't, you'll notice that I said it was my personal choice.
