Hans Reiser, the prominent Bay Area Linux programmer charged with murdering his wife, says he's seeking to sell off his open-source file system company, Namesys, to help pay mounting legal costs. In the first interview since his arrest, Reiser spoke this week about the future of his company and his legal travails from within the walls of Santa Rita Jail, where he is being held without bail.

"""I am using ext3 on / with data=ordered as the option."""
And I thought you were just joking about Reiserfs trashing your machine. I'll bring the rope! ;-)
Agreed that Ext3 is rock solid. I would recommend that you actually benchmark it against other filesystems doing things that you normally do. Ext3 is quite fast. And where it is less so, the difference is not really that significant.
The exception being when there is a nasty interaction with firmware or drivers. I've heard from a couple of people who were experiencing horrid performance with a particular model of 3Ware card and ext3. XFS happened to work quite well in those scenarios.
