ext3 is 2.2 only for now, last time I looked.  The developers want to get it
stable there before porting it.

I've got 2.4 boxes running reiserfs and 2.2 running ext3.  Both are great,
though there are a few caveats if you want reiser 3.6 and 2.4 kernels
(you'll need some extra patches for NFS, etc.).  I've tried XFS, but it's
definitely not ready for widespread use yet (hangs hard on moderate I/O, log
rollback leaves open files corrupted, etc.).

later,
