I recommend you don't use ext3 for any database: http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Jan/0641.html
apparently its still buggy.
So what is the recommended fs under Linux? I don't need the best speed/throughput, but I prefer not to use ext2 due to long fsck time. I also tend to avoid reiser3, it has given us many griefs in the past. XFS?
