Probably the best filesystem to use on your X5040 is the *unreleased beta version* of NGFS.
The version that was released with OS 4.1 final is pretty broken and not terribly reliable. Apparently, however, there is a beta version that has been developed that is much better. Like I said, it was never released, so you might need to privately ask a beta tester or one of them may PM you after reading this. (Don't ask me, I don't have it either).
It is not backwards compatible with the release NGFS, so if you're starting a new system from scratch, I recommend getting hold of it and using that. I don't know if NGFS works on anything other than X50x0.
I don't know which version A1222 let alone X5040 (I have X5020) ship with; as NGFS was developed by Hyperion I would guess its the original release version.
I use NGFS for my boot partition and SFS/02 for all others - although I believe you can still boot from SFS/02, provided is is enabled in your kicklayout.
I don't believe we should be using SFS/0 on OS4 systems, although joerg is far more knowledgeable than me on this.
