Again, this isn't an issue in latest kernels for well over 3 years (2.4.0 Test7+) and uses LFS, though the filesystem implementation has been more recent but still a couple of years old). Ext3 supports this if you are this if you are looking at the Enterprise Linux kernels and ReiserFS also support this as do the other journaling filesystems.
http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html for more info. Again, all modern distros support this feature - but they support it because the Linux kernel supports it, which you can make work with your existing distro version.
