I have been using ext3 and jfs with 0 problems, both seem to recover from power failure ok
 but1: I've got no rdbms in the said box  but2: The box in question is not a very busy one propably ext3 or Reiser would be safest bet as they come with the standard kernel but then I've got no idea about how they behave with database data files.

I did change newsgroups of this post.
