@N4RPS,
Thanks for the links. Very interesting. Don't know if it's still a hotly debated issue these days, but seems that it was when ext4 was brand new. Apparently Linus didn't like ext3 either. My knowledge of the inner workings of different file systems is basically zero, so I'll leave that to the experts I suppose. Will probably just continue using ext4 myself just because it seems to be the standard and I don't have any issues (that I know of) with it.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever experimented with or used BTRFS or Reiser? I seem to remember reading some good things about them and have thought of trying one or both on a test machine at some point in the future.
