Per the docs, I set up my myth partition as xfs....  That lasted about a 
week; tonight I got this:

This is not fatal but it's a real PITA; that partition has about 200 GB 
of data.  I have it on an external USB drive but it takes hours to restore.

How stable is XFS?  This crash occurred during an rsync.  I've used ext3 
happily but changed per the docs....  Now I'm not so sure....

This file system is on top of a RAID-5 array.  ISTR reading about 
instability of XFS on top of raid...  Suggestions?  JFS?  ext3?  videotapes?
