I used to run XFS and was getting FS corruptions from time to time, which required mounting read-only and running fsck. It was especially a lot of fun if root partition got corrupted. Why did I have the corruptions? Well, I have quite a few PCs at home so having UPS for all of them is not practical, also I want to figure out better FS for use at work, so pulling a plug sometimes was intentional ;-) I installed ReiserFS3 on all my PCs and so far never had a problem. I don't really care if it is slower on deleting huge files: if I have time to watch a 2 GB show, I guess I can find couple of seconds to delete it. On the other end, fixing FS errors after crash defeats the whole purpose of running Linux: I want my system rock solid and fixing FS errors is not an option for me.
