And the system in question here will be a server running 24/7 with pretty 
intense load, so fast recovery IS an issue.. I haven't been running ext3 for 
several years, so I don't know how it performs really..
I guess for speed and disk intense use, XFS or JFS looks like good 
alternatives. My own experiences with XFS is that while it's running, it's fast 
although a bit cpu demanding. Recovery is painfully slow after a serious disk 
trashing, even slower than a rebuild-tree with ReiserFS v3.

Then I saw a note in OpenSUSE 11 that there are absolutely no support for JFS, 
but it seems like it's working anyway.. ;-)

Anders.
