I've had a 100GB Ext3 volume for almost 15 months no. 0 issues.
Now that's running on kernel 2.2.16 using full data journaling,
something that has changed with 2.4 -- where the VM system has
changed to the point where full data journaling is not implemented
as the simple "double buffer" it was on 2.2 -- but it's still nice
to be able to drop down to an Ext2 fsck if you ever get into
trouble.

Well that's good news. I'm curious as to why IBM didn't do this in
the first place. Is it non-IBM licensed code that they must replace
before they do?

I don't disagree with you there.

As someone who was involved with FreeDOS, it is a very, very
frustrating and slow development process to reverse engineer, bug
for bug.

Me too. I trust XFS more than Ext2/Ext3 on kernel 2.4.
