I am about to install a new server running CentOS 5.4. The server will contain pretty critical data that we can't afford to corrupt.

I would like to benefit from the extra speed and features of a ext4 filesystem but I don't have any experience with it. Is there some member of the list who can enlighten me on whether ext4 is mature enough to be used on a production server without too much risk?

Some people have encountered data loss issues on Ubuntu (quite some time back and nothing reported recently) and ext4 support is not yet official in Centos5/RHEL5.
