Ah, fond memories of async ext2 corrupting root filesystems beyond recognition... I think we 'invented' 'disposable infrastructure' back in 2002 because the filesystem forced us to... The MegaRAID cards that would eat their configuration along will all your data didn't help either..

Can't remember if we switched to ext3 in ordered or data-journaled mode but it made an immense difference...
