Maybe the moral is you should use what everybody else uses. ext2/3 and to some extent Reiser are very well tested because practically everybody uses them. Major bugs in ext3 are readily apparent because it has millions of users. Major bugs in XFS are not found until one of sgi's 17 customers happens to trip over one. Worse, XFS is the sole user of lots of in-kernel code. ext3 uses lots of underlying code that is also used by other kernel pieces. The segmentation helps in rooting out problems.
OK, the moral of the story is to use what everybody else uses. AND get a big backup tape. ;)
