Also realize that the ext3 journal itself may be located on another drive
altogether. You don't *need* to have the journal on the same partition, or
even the same physical harddrive (or controller for that matter).
If you need a high-performance filesystem, I wouldn't recommend ext3 - take a
serious look at xfs (or, *gasp*, reiserfs4). If you need reliable trustworthy
*data journalling* (not merely metadata journalling), ext3 with data=journal
is the only filesystem that currently supports it.
