Another vote here for ext3. It's been around for long enough to be
trustworthy, more so than ReiserFS and linux NTFS write support

I'd respectfully suggest that the person who wrote that article doesn't
appear to understand what journalling is all about. Furthermore, I've
successfully used spindown (via 'hdparm') on journalled (ext3)
partitions.

If the author of that article can't achieve reliable spin-down, he
ought to look elsewhere for something to blame. 'syslogd' and other
services would be a good place to start.
