Sure, no filesystem exhibits *optimal* performance under all work-loads,
but in terms of data integrity, I expect and demand *perfection*. Perhaps
no Linux filesystem is mature/stable enough to meet this standard,
but do not accept less than perfect data integrity from your filesystem:
- Barring memory corruption, or I/O bus errors, ... the filesystem
is always recoverable at boot time and no files changes committed
with fsync() are lost.
- Boot time recovery rolls incomplete operations forward or back
as appropriate, and brings the filesystem into a consistent state.
Past reports of ReiserFS on this list indicate that it falls short
of reasonable (i.e. perfect) data integrity expectations.
