We've actually gone to ext3 to prevent file system corruption when 
hit with an unexpected power cycle.  ext3 keeps a journaling file,
which it uses to rebuild the file system at boot time.  We're 
developing an embedded linux box that will not be physically accessable 
to people, and this guarentees us that the machine will be able to 
boot w/o user intervention - ie. running fsck's manually.
