Thanks everybody for your input. As it happens, all my partitions are ext2 at the moment (except for some FAT16's but we needn't go into that ;) I'm contemplating swapping some of 'em to ext3, I was just wondering if the pluses outweight the minuses. It appears as if they do. It does reassure me, though, that if I happen to run/install a kernel that doesn't have ext3, I can use ext2 if necessary.
