Mailinglists have the habit of collecting negative stories because people  
with positive stories don't have a reason to mail about it. So it is  
natural that you see a lot of bugs/patches/stability issues on the list.
If you follow the Linux releases you will also see that every release  
contains a lot of updates to the filesystems. Most patches are for edge  
cases.

Yes, at previous job a backup server with 96 disks running rsync from a  
lot of servers. Runs nice.
Advice: Use amd64. Install a lot of memory. Furter tuning depends on what  
you want to do with it.

I don't know. There might be something on wiki.freebsd.org.
