You do not have to switch to 64bit, and your setup should be fully supported.  Other folks have mentioned XFS, and that's an option.  But if you want to stay fully compatible with upstream, then ext3 is your only option.

Support for xfs has been added to RHEL 5.4 which will be released any day now.

So it has. I recall looking in the beta release notes when they first came out and not seeing it. So either I just plain missed it or it's been added there since then. In any case, that's great news and something that is *long* overdue.
