The bathtub curve also applies for software systems, in practice. When you aim for realiability, you need to consider the general maintenance state of the underlying kernel code (bitrot that crept in as other parts of the kernel changed and evolved, general increase in how brittle the code is due to accumulated maintenance, how much testing and attention from developers it still gets, etc), not just filesystem features. In that sense, ext2 is not nearly as good a choice as it once was. A newly created ext3 with default parameters (yes, that means it gets a journal -- that's how it gets most use and most testing) is a better bet nowadays as far as present and future reliability goes. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
