I think things have changed since then. I have had to on a couple
occasions unplug my rig or use the halt command and not have a clean
shutdown. It fixes the errors when I reboot, if any. I have read where
others have done the same with no losses.
I have tried XFS and others and had trouble in these areas before. That
is one reason I use reiserfs and it came highly recommended because it
can recover so well.
On XFS, if you have a UPS and can always have a clean shutdown, very
cool. It seriously hates unclean shutdowns.
