Take UPS. Don't play with the devil :)

For the FS... I don't know very much about Linux' fs performance, but it Oracle
for Windows some guide I found, that using RAW devices is up to 10% faster than any
file system (fat, fat32, ntfs). Using raw devices had drawbacks in maintenance - it's
harder, but it is faster.
