I have a similar story, but for me it was JFS instead of XFS. I will |
| 37 |
never, ever, ever use JFS for anything again. I had XFS on a file |
| 38 |
server RAID box with a failing power supply and it died over and over |
| 39 |
and the FS stayed functional, so YMMV indeed. (I haven't tried reiser, |
| 40 |
I'm still scared about the corruption stories from years ago.) |

I suppose if you ask enough people, there will be horror stories about |
| 43 |
every filesystem. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
No matter which FS you choose, I wish you good luck and hope you have |
| 46 |
no new horror stories. :) |
