I see two more possibilities for such a lingua franca file system: xfs and zfs.
I noticed, on http://distrowatch.com/ , that there was an update to xfsprogs

xfsprogs is included in Linux (Slackware 13.0), and I see xfsprogs packages in
NetBSD pkgsrc and freebsd ports.
I saw an

the problem is not which version of mkfs (ext2fs) you use.
