What about Sun's ZFS? Isn't it supposed to handle power failures and
unplugging seamlessly? I think there is some licensing issue that
prevents a linux kernel with ZFS to be distributed, but I am sure that
can be worked out. I know Solaris, OpenSolaris, NexentaOS, FreeBSD, and
MacOS 10.5 Leopard can be configured to work with ZFS.
