yep.
I had it in a machine with 3 hard drives.
drive one
/dev/hda1 /boot 100mb ext2
/dev/hda5 / 20gb reiserfs
/dev/hda4 swap 1gb swap
/dev/hda3 /win 96gb vfat
drive two
/dev/hdb1 /home 160gb xfs
drive three
/dev/hdd1 /storage 80gb ext3
/dev/hdd3 /var 20gb reiserfs
there was a power failure, and when I restarted, the machine was throwing up errors on the / and /var filesystems. I used a live-cd to have a look around and could not access the / partition at all. /var was full of weird characters, but all the other filesystems held up and lost no data.
I usually use XFS if I want speed, but at the minute, using Ubuntu, I a, using ext3 on /
with data=ordered as the option.
not the fastest, but very secure.
