I've taken damage on reiserfs and found out that there wasn't really much anything in a way of recovery tools or diagnostics. About everything anything managed to say that the fs is dead. XFS is still the only system that I've had nearly guaranteed data loss (and not much sign of when or where until you find the blank files) if anything goes wrong with a fs in use. Never on Irix, though. There it always worked flawlessly despite equal randomness in power status and hardware faults etc. At the moment (well, that means the last few years; installations aren't that frequent) I'm sticking to ext3 on any Linux hosts I may be looking after.
I only wonder since I've _never_ had data loss with XFS while I managed to destroy around 40% of data by shutting down power to ReiserFS :-) -- Paul Lasek
