Please give 3 benefits of ext3 over ext2 or xfs. I admit, that I usually take 
the quicker and easier way to the solution. I was only using ext3 so that I 
would not have to run fsck after rebooting after a crash - but now I know 
that the cost of ext3 is not worth the reward.

No. The filesystem did not cause the corruption - just made it harder to 
recover. I have had more than 1 bad experience with ext3, and I consider the 
fact that when I lost data, I could not quickly find cheap competent help 
(that would result in data recovery).

No. These crashes are unrelated to ext3. It seems to have to do with recent 
upgrades of RedHat Linux (like 7.2 does not have the problem until I upgrade 
the kernel) I didn't stay with 7.3 long enough to know and 8.0 has the 
problem. Sorry for the confusion.
