Since the latest benchmarking, which I had not seen until this discussion, it looks like ext3 has been well shaken out. It compares beautifully, I'll be sticking with it. My personal experience with ext2 was that the occasional power failure or accidental hitting of the switch caused just too many problems. I still let the fsck happen every 30 mounts or so, I don't turn that off. The incidence of accidental shutdown hasn't changed, but with ext3 there haven't been corruptions. It's not the "loss of data" that I'm most worried about, especially on a desktop machine, because "important" information is not being written all the time. What I want to avoid is corruption, and the journal does a wonderful job of keeping things clean and ordered, even if it's 5 seconds out of date.
