>Hmm, this is strange. I've been using XFS for a couple of months and started after several sysadmins had used it with no problems - even power outages. In fact before they implemented it they did extensive tests by pulling the plug. XFS came back up and ran without a hitch and that has been born out through actual experience. One of it's strong points is the robustness and ability to take hits ext2 can't handle. Another nice feature is it recovers from outages quickly where on big file systems ext2 can take 30+ minutes to fsck.
