If you are using a squid server and are forcing everyone to use it, then the journaled file system helps to get things up and running again after a power outage or other events that require a fsck on the volume. fsck on a large ext2 volume can keep your server tied up long enough for mutiple users to knock on your door mutiple times. -- Andrew S.
