Given the current quality of Linux code, I hesitate to use anything but ext3 because I consider that just barely reliable enough even as the most popular filesystem by far. JFS and XFS have some benefits to them, but none so compelling to make up for how much less testing they get. That said, there seem to be a fair number of people happily running high-performance PostgreSQL instances on XFS.
I thought the common wisdom was to use ext2 for the WAL, since the WAL is a journal system, and ext3 would essentially be journaling the journal. Is that not true?
