I'd guess the nonbootability was the result of a head crash, and had
nothing to do with the filesystem software.
Why are you running 2.0.36? I hope you're behind a firewall.
We've had two power failures recently, one building wide, one a single
floor. AFAIK we had no losses except the drive on an elderly
LispMachine (hardware damage to the drive) in the first, and 2 windows
machines (filesystem corruption) in the second. This is out of about
400 total machines, of which I'd guess <75 are windows and about 250
are Intel linux. (don't hold me to the numbers, but it's the rough
proportions atleast :)
Not really frightening, even the M$ machines had less than 2%
casualties and one was pretty near collapse before the power failure
so say 1% of Windows workstations 0% of everything else (including the
one lonely and ignored PowerEdge server running NT)
