so is unix, etc, that doesn't make it bad? or? ext3/2 is very reliable
and I trust it more than XFS (merged from an irix machine to a linux
kernel with an special vfat layer to get it working) or ReiserFS (know
bugs, denied by auther, no recover tools, claimed to be the best, but
never was) or JFS (totaly unknown nobody seems to know it)

I did. a 900GB RAID5, I had that with ext2 and then with ext3. worked fine.
Nowadays I use XFS on that. Despite my above given statement, its not
too bad. thought there are issues with SMP+XFS+NFS. But XFS has ACLs,
quote and a very nice set of tools

no, you statet that in your quote:
- you do NOT want to wait hrs for ext3 to format 2TB of disks
before you even get to mount it
and thats not true. ext3 is journaling adn there is no need for a check
of disks.

so what is quality in IDE nowadays. thats mass product, cheap and not
reliable. thought I can't sat that for SCSI either. I had to disks die
in the last week.
