I know that most people on this list consider XFS to be rock-solid reliable, but I keep reading from time to time that it is not perfect. Excerpt from a recent posting on Gentoo.

You need to emerge xfs-sources for support XFS of filesystems. I've been using XFS for a few months now, but I wouldnt
use it on a computer which is not connected to a UPS since I've had
a few nasty accidents with XFS where shutting down in the middle of
an emerge has left my system crippled (on a computer NOT on a UPS).
If you have a UPS then I suggest you give the XFS filesystem a try... but please make sure to read more about it, since you can loose data if you are not careful and do a hard shutdown in the middle of something important.

PS: I'm not trying to start an fs war (I have nothing against XFS, other than the fact that it's not yet part of the stable kernel) - just reporting feedback.
