that does not like sudden power losses :) But ext4 has that too, you can |
| 23 |
disable it though - that should be true for XFS too. |

But the power situation in the datacenter has never been a problem so far, |
| 25 |
and even if the cache partition get's screwed, we can always rebuild it. |

Takes a few hours, but it would not be the end of the world :) |
