Once I had MySQL running on an XFS filesystem, and the system has hanged for some reason. The database got broken so horribly I had to restore it from backups. I wouldn't really count on any 'ACID guarantees' here :) An UPS and a ventilated dust-free environment is our only ACID guarantee :)

Note that mysql isn't always acid compliant and clearly states that fact, eg, when using myisam tables. Converting to innodb should fix that for you. If you were running innodb tables... then shut me up! Hehe never done any testing of this myself. Which storage engine are you using?

Yep, it was myisam.
