Well, I was specifically thinking of the other side, how badly xfs has
screwed up filesystems of mine in the past. And I started out as a fan of
xfs, having used it on SGIs. But between losing an entire filesystem on
an external drive, and getting strings of zero-bytes strewn without
warning throughout files on another filesystem, I'm done with xfs.
(BTW, I meant "if *ext4* is anywhere near as reliable as ext3" in my
original comment.)
