Booting got stuck on fsck which gave me a heart attack. I recovered with a

Why can't Linux always survive power outages? I would think this is common.
I can't imagine everyone would know to use Knoppix.
I've seen Windows machines that get abused and improperly shutdown all the
time. They always seem to recover.

I would expect that whether data is or is not corrupted upon power loss
depends on the file operation (or even memory operation) being executed
at the moment of the interruption, and the atomicity of that operation.
Under certain conditions, I very much doubt any OS running on a PC is
completely immune from data corruption.
