The *most* robust? Probably something seriously expensive from IBM or similar. I'd go with ReiserFS or Ext3. Both are very good. I use ReiserFS pretty much everywhere. No running-out-of-inode problems with ReiserFS so I prefer it over Ext3. > The box will be used as a gateway/firewall for a branch office, so I really > couldn't care less about filesystem performance.

Unbreakable file system as it's all read-only (or RAM). Can't beat read-only. :-)
