What doesn't seem to be anecdotal is that XFS caches data more aggressively
and over longer time in RAM than other filesystems including ext3. This
results in performance advantages, but reliability issues on any other but
high quality server hardware with ECC RAM. The anecdotal evidence mostly
comes from users running PCs with standard (cheap) RAM and in non-data
center-/USV-usage scenarios where loss of power is more likely or even
common (such as on laptops).
