I think there's a bit of Not Invented Here syndrome with XFS that causes
people to be wary of it, but in my experience it's a rock-solid
filesystem. However, it doesn't journal data, only metadata, so you may
lose a bit of data if the system goes down uncleanly. The filesystem
will be protected from corruption, however. (Ext3fs can also be
configured this way, but its default is to journal data as well as
metadata.)
Huh?
It was my understanding that, by default, ext3 only journals metadata.
You have to use one of the "journal_data*" options specified in "man
tune2fs" to get ext3 to journal data.
