So, if one doesn't need journaling on a drive (and why would journaling
be advantageous on a drive that holds only static audio files?) what's
wrong with using ext2 or even ntfs?  Other than journaling, what are
the big advantages of ext3 over ext2?

It's true that I don't know anything about journaling (and I only know
enough about linux in general to be a danger to myself and others) but
I assume that most of a journaling fs's advantages come into play in
cases where enhanced error recovery of volatile data is needed.

Also, in may case, I do seem to be able to squeeze more data onto a
ntfs drive, at least vs. ext2.  My flac library is currently just
bumping up against the limits of my 750gig drive.  In fact, I'll be
starting to copy my library to a 1T drive later this month.
