I know my data is vulnerable in many ways. I would just like the most common cases to be addressed. It is not luck. According to the discussions, everyone who has had a crash with (first) XFS or (now) ext4 is getting inconsistent states, while no heavy-duty ext3 users have reportedly seen this kind of corruption. Maybe others, yes, but no zero-length files -- which is the issue under discussion.
