If the problem occurs while there's no writes happening, then there's no
downside.
I have begun dismounting my banks after the backups.. This way if there
*IS* a crash/powerfailure/reset-button-push I don't even have to worry
one iota! (at least not about the vaults)
What is also helpful is that
xfs is *very* fast in deleting files. On a 8TB backup system, expiring
the images for one day used to take around 24 hours (with reiserfs,
although in my experience ext3 is not that much faster in deleting).
My experiences would have to disagree with you. Expiring EXT3 images
was faster on an order of MAGNATUDE over (badevil)REISERFS
