Because this is a Beta not everything works as it should so it has been necessary for me to do the 1 finger shutdown on a couple of occasions. The Ext3 had no problem handling it and there was no waiting for fsck to complete as with ext2. Overall I am pleased with the performance of Ext3 and plan to continue using it.
