I have had the same experience...
Even ext3 takes ages on s ICP/Vortex with fiveteen 300 GByte SCSI
drivers (15.000 RpM) I have never had grave losts of Data.
While using ReiderFS I have gotten over 1,3 TByte of ZEROed files.
The Kernel crash had killed my whole filesystem.
I think, ext3 and now ext4 should be the only reliable FileSystem
for @home users which want to avoid to buy an UPS even if they are
not realy expensive. A SmartUPS 650 from APC should do for ALL
Workstations and small FileServers @home.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
