Would all of you self righteous people stop telling others to _stop_
using the xfs file system? I've been using xfs successfully for many
years _without one single_ problem. This even after numerous power
outages because of a faulty UPS. If you are having problems take a good
look at your hardware, especially your power supply, because that is
where the problem is. If there were too many problems with xfs I am sure
the powers that be would stop supplying it the distro.

To the OP, it helps a great deal when you include the hardware involved.
As has been stated many times on this list crystal balls are in short
supply and seldom work when available. Also, have you tried the failsafe
install/(upon first boot)?
