Interesting - I'm running an xfs system that has been through several 
power failures without problems - could have more to do with the 
specifics of ones harddrives than the type of file system (e.g. ATA/IDE 
write caching being the most common reason for power loss corruption, 
and some types seem more susceptible than others).
