Well, "secure" can mean so many things. It may mean also "stability", robustness", .. (Technical persons are usually carefull, but marketroids...)
One of the things wished for EXT2 is extra robustness, which can be achieved with writing the meta-data, and data in correct sequential order to the disk. ... well, all that every database system programmer have always known to be needed for getting reliable databases, along with change rollbacks ...
