gotcha though: be careful to tune the fs to not automagically fsck the filesystem on boot. When you have a large fileserver or mail store that even a scheduled reboot can cause hours of downtime as it runs its 'required' fsck!
There must be a reason to do fsck every now and then (once a year)? Could it be that some cleanup is needed even for ext3? I also have a server up for more than half a year and I was wondering whether to reboot it just out of precautions. I refrain from kernel updates for internal machines, it just gives a lot of work due to driver re-compilation. (Don't fix it if it ain't broken :-)
