We use ext3 because it's mainline, supported, and I simply don't trust the
other file systems to have had sufficient real-world testing and
sufficient attention paid to recovery tools.

I care more about file system consistency and reasonable recovery from
hardware and software failure than I do about the last iota of speed.
