What about hard locks? Will the magical keystrokes prevent these
disasters with XFS?
Most of my JFS/XFS usage has been for data which I cannot backup (MythTV Video
Recording that are going to be erased in a few days after watching them)
And therefore I don't care about it being lost (compared to say /etc or
/home which do get backups and are on ext3)
