That's what happens every time I try it too.  The theoretical benefits
of ext2 for hosting PostgreSQL just don't translate into significant
performance increases on database oriented tests, certainly not ones
that would justify the downside of having fsck issues come back again.
Glad to see that holds true on this hardware too.
