Will,
With regards to ext3fs, I am aware of the journaling properties
and the superior recovery it has in comparison to ext2fs. However,
ext3fs has considerable overhead for writing data to the disk. ReiserFS
is supposedly far swifter at disk writes, which I need to quell the
minor revolt a few of my users are beginning to threaten.
One thing to try is mounting the ext3 partition in writeback mode. This is faster, but not quite as fast reiserfs. It is possible to lose newly written data with writeback. Of course reiserfs, like most jfs, has the same issues.
