I did something similar, but I use these EXT4 requirements:

  - hard links (only tar works for backup)
  - small file size (or inodes run out before disk space)

It's very useful for global distributed real-time data that don't need the P in CAP for writes.

(no new data can be created if one node is offline = you can login, but not register)
