            Description

            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.
