In my case, the nvidia graphics card (driver?) locked up every time I 
logged out of X and gdm restarted X. So, I had maybe 100 hard crashes in 
a week. During that time, I repeatedly lost a few files that have been 
written right before I logged off, e.g. Mozilla bookmarks.

What Renchi wrote makes sense to me, matches my experience. I just don't 
think it's a good idea to rely data integrity on UPS *and* stable 
hardware *and* that the kernel won't lock up or that apps are written 
"sanely".
Other than these occasional few files lost, XFS has been stable for me, 
and I have it under heavy use (recompiling / copying / deleting Mozilla 
source all the time, user data, huge filesystems etc.).

Back ontopic, I haven't had a single problem with my MythTV recordings 
on XFS. And it definitely doesn't show the slow-deletion problem that 
others reported for other filesystems.

P.S. move to -users?
