I have been looking into the Reiser-Filesystem, which is available for Linux
(together with about a hundred others), mainly for the 24x7 issue. As I see
it there are two ways, using shadows on separate disks, or use a
'journaling' file system. First tests of Reiser show that it not only
recovers quickly it seams a lot faster in general to ext2 and the other
common file system formats.

The Reiser journaling file system logs every change to data structures in
the
file system, enabling its re-creation within a few seconds after a sudden
system failure (e.g. power outage).
