I’ve been using ext4 possibly (don’t know for sure) since it was available 
in standard Gentoo land. I cannot remember ever having suffered data loss.

These days I like to experiment with more flash-friendly systems like f2fs, 
which I use on the MicroSD card of my raspberry and the 400 GB data MicroSD 
in my Surface Go tablet. I also test-drive it on my mini desktop PC (all 
Arch linux) because, like all my machines, it has an SSD.

In what kind of situations did you encounter these problems?
