[gentoo-user] Good file system that recovers from a power failure.

[Dale]

Hi,

I'm planning to build a rig like mine for my brother before to long.  I 
know there are lots of opinions on the net but want some personal 
experience information on this.  My brother does not have a UPS.  I may 
can talk him into getting one but not sure.  What is a good file system 
that recovers well from a improper shutdown?  I use ext2, ext3 and 
reiserfs here but never had a power problem, except when hal broke my 
stuff.  I know XFS is not good for this already from my own personal 
experience.

Does anyone here have any personal experience on this?  Just a 'I use 
this and had a power failure and it powered up fine with no data loss' 
would be nice.   If this happened a lot and still worked, that would be 
even better.

I'm not looking to start a turf war.  This will be a plain old desktop 
so it doesn't need a fancy file system, just one that recovers from a 
power failure.

Thanks.

Dale
