I have a similar story, but for me it was JFS instead of XFS. I will
never, ever, ever use JFS for anything again. I had XFS on a file
server RAID box with a failing power supply and it died over and over
and the FS stayed functional, so YMMV indeed. (I haven't tried reiser,
I'm still scared about the corruption stories from years ago.)
I suppose if you ask enough people, there will be horror stories about
every filesystem.
No matter which FS you choose, I wish you good luck and hope you have
no new horror stories. :)
