It's a truly journaled fs, fscks in under a second, and I've never lost a file due to OS crashes. It also has the ability to grow on the fly. It's been around in IRIX for at least 4 years, and I've used it on rather large volumes (+-500GB). That being said, I've never tried to use it with InterMezzo, so it may well not work.
