While ext4 is not the default filesystem for Jaunty there has been an
issue where it will leave users with zero byte files if the system
"crashes". Ted Ts'o did a great write up of why this occurs:

Why am I posting this here? To raise awareness. It has a large impact on
Gnome & KDE developers & users. I'll spare everyone the gory details
(you can read the link above) other than to say this is something that
we will see more of as Linux gets more sophisticated filesystems.
