They keep everything on local disks (who would they get remote disks from? AFAICT they have more storage than anyone else in the world).

But they do data replication at the machine level, so they don't care about journalling/raid/whatever *within* a machine -- it's useless overhead to them.

ext2? I would imagine they don't keep much on local disks. Must be nice :)

Given that Google are migrating to ext4 from ext2, this is some of the least surprising news I've read in some time. :)
