Hello!
So far I got 5 replies, but no answers. So, I'll try again... does anybody know what the wikipedia articles are talking about in terms of those data loss scenarios with ext3 and ext4? And more importantly, which one I should use (to be safest) and how should I set up those?
Ext4 is an adolescent with great potential, but it still makes big mistakes routinely. I have been watching the ext3 / ext4 mailing list for a few months. Almost never a ext3 data loss complaint. Almost daily similar complaints about ext4. Especially on large filesystems. 2 TB is smaller than most of the complaints, but I would not trust my data to ext4 on any size filesystem at this point. Further the OpenSUSE release still has ext4 marked as experimental. That means, don't use if you don't want to lose your data.
