Eeep!  I wouldn't wait for XFS -- I think that will be a while..  I
might try out ReiserFS one of these days (I think I may get a big drive
soon -- that would be a good format to put on it..)  However, I don't
know if ReiserFS is architecture-independent yet (i386 only, right
now..)  Ext3 sounds nice (it sounds like the successor to ext2, gee..),
but I worry a bit since it's supposed to be backwards-compatible.  You
get new features, but there is the potential for a lot of problems to be
inherited..  Also, I'd hate to see what happens if I accidentally ran an
ext2 fsck on an ext3 partition (though fsck probably checks the version
of the filesystem before doing anything..)

*shrug*  That's all IMHO..
