It uses very aggressive caching to get decent speed. Take a decent |

database box with 32GB RAM, assume MySQL is underworked at the moment |
| 10 |
and using 11GB then your power quits on ya.... chances are you just |
| 11 |
lost 21GB of your "most used" data which would probably be most of |

Under no circumstances is XFS safe without a UPS. It has not improved |
| 15 |
in this regard and probably never will. Anyone advising you to deploy |

XFS in a production environment without UPS on 'critical' data is a |

fool. |
