We (umich.edu) also use ext3. We randomly run into issues where the filesystem half-thinks that things that should be files are directories, which, when this happens on a vice paritition, leads to interesting problems. Other co-workers (some of whom I believe are on this list) follow this more, but I think our strategy has been to keep on top of any kernel issues and the corresponding userspace tools for dealing with ext filesystems and see what those do. I have no idea why we tend to run into this with not-frequent-but-too-often-for-me regularity. That said, I'm not sure what else we'd even consider running on Linux systems. -- Thomas L.
