Yes, of course.

Although, the RH 7.2 allows using ext3fs during install, or, of course,
converting existing partitions to it.
Quite nice. I have made few tests with ext3, and found it only a bit
overhead, but working well. I have never, though, tried ext3 with bad
sectors. I know Reiser works poorly when there are bad sectors. Ext2 works
ok with them. No one likes them, of course, but you can keep up a working
system on a disk with fixed amount of bad sectors, which cannot be said on
reiser.

There is one weird thing with RH7.2, if you build the partitions using
fdisk, the graphics tool, if I'm correct called diskdruid or something, does
not recognize your partitions correctly. You have to "re-create" them using
this tool.
I did not encounter any such thing with RH7.1

Ez.
