I've seen it lose all data on my gf's cube from one second to the other. I considered that a personal warning to move to something better.Yeah, XFS has been pretty stable for me. The only trouble I've really ever had was with 2.4.6 + XFS CVS; I got minor corruption after a kernel panic. But 2.4.8-pre3 + XFS CVS has only dropped me into xmon once (likely not XFS related), and I've encountered no problems with corruption or anything else.
I've been surprised for the good. The overall performance has improved dramatically. One extreme example is diffing two 2.4 kernel trees. With reiserfs, that took well over six minutes. Now with XFS it finished after 2:28.something ... impressive.
Maybe I should thank Hans for scaring me off his crap. ;)
PS: Hey Colin, I remembered to remove you from the To: header. ;)Hehe. Well, you should be able to set up your mailer to do this automatically for mailing lists...
