Don't know the answer to your question, but I thought I would just pipe
in and say that if this is an SMP (has multiple processors) Linux box
you don't want to use ext3!!!

I used ext3 on my SMP box here at work and now I can't have children (I
guess it would help if I got a wife first)!!
But in all seriousness SMP + ext3 = BAD(unpredictable crashes depending
loosely related to system load).
