I had overlooked the "commit" option, so I added this to my setup, all 
ext3 partitions. I also have "noatime" set on all partitions. I mean, 
what's the point of having atime set if the write out is delayed? I have 
noflushd set to spin down the drive after 7 minutes of inactivity. Sure, 
that could be more agressive, but my drive is already two years old so I 
don't want to push it. This all seems to work very well.
