Some time ago, SGI announced they were opening the source to the journaled file system used in IRIX systems, and that they would integrate this system with Linux. The biggest advantage of a journaled file system is that no file system consistency check is needed after power loss. This can save many hours on file servers with huge amounts of storage. All of my desktop computers (which run BeOS) have this feature and, I can tell you, it has saved me a LOT of time on reboots after power losses.
