Efficient, yes, but trustworthy?  Ext3 is the most conservative of all
the journalling filesystems for Linux, being an extension of the Ext2
design rather than something completely new.  XFS, in contrast, had to
have large chunks of core code ripped out of it before it could be
ported, to avoid IP issues.  It took some time for it to become stable.
