Quoting Russell Coker (russell@coker.com.au):
For reliable data storage on Linux the options are ZFS and BTRFS.
I'm really curious: Are you quite sure those are more reliable than ext4 or ext3 (in their default metadata journaling/write modes)?
I suspect "reliable" here includes a requirement for data check sums, which only ZFS and BTRFS can satisfy. As I recall, XFS has (or is about to receive) support for metadata check sums/CRCs, but not for full data checking.
