ext3 works fine - it's been used on the old mailing list server for its
filesystems for hundreds of days (on that exact kernel version) without
issue.

It's also being used on the web server and older web server both without
any incident.

All aforementioned machines are ARM based.  I can only assume that you
have local (unreported) issues with ext3 on ARM.
