Doesn't ext3 have some performance and reliability improvements over
ext2? That would be a good reason to use it. I don't know either way.
All I have ever used is ext3 for my main partitions and rieserfs for a
few partition that have a bunch of little files on them( I hear its
better for this). I also think I remember something about ext2 having a
2gig file size limit on it. That could also be a factor. In any case
for the most part it doesn't cost much to upgrade to ext3, so I would
personally recommend it.
