The thread is about reliability. Any filesystem should be reliable so 
long as nothing goes wrong.

It's when someone trips on the powercord, tips the box over etc that you 
begin to find out about real reliability.

I've never seen reason to use anything but ext3 since it was released. I 
don't care about small margins of performance; I do care about surviving 
crashes. And coming up quickly afterwards: I well recall 45 minute 
chkdsk operations on OS/2.
