I ran into this. I started with ext2 (the standard) which got corrupted
and lost files with power failure. Went to ext3 (ext2 + journal) which
was better but __silently__ would lose files. Went to Reiserfs which
would get corrupted by reiserfsck. Went to JFS and no more problems.
There was a discussion here a short time ago; try a google search
site:lists.debian.org JFS
My suggestion is to use JFS for everything (and keep good backups).
Good luck.
Doug.
