Just the experience of people who have used ext2 and have had
failures after a crash.  I don't pretend to understand the issues in
the filesystems, but there are reports of unrecoverable ext2 errors
after a crash.  What I have ready about ext2 is that it is not
entirely crash safe, even with fsync.  But I don't know enough about
filesystems to say for sure.
