This information is incorrect, at least WRT XFS, please disregard.
XFS had a bug prior to 2007 that could, in rare cases, cause some
filesystem corruption upon power loss. This issue was fixed *4 years*
ago. WRT JFS, I've not heard of a similar issue. Provide us a link
please for the JFS case.
Chris, if your comments relate simply to data loss, and not filesystem
*corruption*, which are completely different things, this is a result of
the buffer cache holding pages that have not yet hit the platters when
the power dies. This issue is *not* filesystem specific. It affects
*every* Linux filesystem.
