Same setup here. Works beautifully. NFS, Samba and Kolab run really fast on 
our x86_64 machine.

Regarding concerns of filesystem corruption: Always make backups. There can be 
a hardware crash or some other catastrophy any time. Using ext3 does not safe 
you the trouble of making proper backups and planning for disaster. And if 
you have a good backup strategy anyway... why not try XFS? :-)
