It depends on what modules are loaded into the kernel and when. My
practice has always been to keep the OS partitions (especially / and
/boot) on ext3. Since I don't store my Ardour sessions in /, but in
another partition, it's never been a problem.
I've been using reiserfs, but am considering a move to something that
will have continued support in the future.
