That's what I thought, but I regret using it for my recordings partition
now:
* The big performance advantage in deleting large files seems to have
vanished, it now seems slower than ext3
* The partition can't be shrunk
* You're less likely to be able to recover data after partition
corruption; I once lost an entire partition because its fsck
couldn't make it usable again
