If you're running a database on it, you might re-think using a journaled filesystem. For that, ext2 will be faster and much less prone to unrecoverable data loss.
Did you mean EXT4, or in actual fact EXT2? I thought EXT4 was faster than EXT2?
The optimum on an EXT basis for a filesystem that does not require journaling going forwards would be EXT4 with no journal... that way you get the benefit of extents etc without a journal slowing you down.... A better option than EXT2 ;)
Won't that mean that starting up after a crash or power loss will always require an fsck which might be slow depending on how many files are on the partition?
