I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why?
I know ext3 has the ability to do slightly better journalling (data +
metadata, not just metadata) if you're really nuts about that, but it's
goddam inefficient, and often slower. For one, on my 720gb file server
partition I lost an absurd amount of space as overhead using ext3 before
moving to reiserfs.
