ext2 is really not crash-safe.  I think I'd think twice.

There have been some recent reports about corruption under reiserfs,
but not much detail on it.

The performance list recently had a discussion of performance and
ext3.

I'd be _real_ interested in hearing about xfs; when I used to admin
IRIX boxes, I thought very highly of xfs.  It was bulletproof.  But I
have no idea what it's like on Linux.
