It's a filesystem that supports all of these features (and in combination):

  • snapshotting
  • error correction
  • per-file or per-directory "transparently compress this"
  • per-file of per-directory "transparently back this up"

If that is meaningless to you, that's fine, but it sure as hell looks good to me. You can just stick with ext3 - it's rock solid.
