Hello all,

I am in a position where I'm torn between using ext2 vs ext3 to keep the
pg_data, pg_xlog, and pg_clog contents.

The main concern is that switching to ext2 will not respond well to an
improper shutdown, power loss.

My question is what is the prefered filesystem to keep this data to be
able to optimize performance and still have some fault tolerance.

-Joe
