Filesystem for Linux production database server?

Filesystem for Linux production database server?

 

  

Hi, friends that run oracle on linux:
We are running some database on linux, some with UPS protection and some
not, all using ext2. Currently we have a DW server running oracle 817/Redhat
7.2/Ext2. When server crash because of power supply, fsck took rather long
time!
And we are planning migrate to redhat as2.1/9.2, and I am thinking of
what kind of filesystem shall I choose for the new server. The database is
about 150G.I had planned to use ext3 for it is journal filesystem, But
according to http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5841, ext3 is bad
for performance, and some friend said he hit filesystem crash with ext3.
So,what is your experience using filesystem for oracle in linux?
Performance and avaliability is of most important.
Thanks.
