Reliable file systems

In my VMWare 'hit-the-reset-button' tests, I've been able to repeatedly
produce nasty corruption in reiserfs and xfs. ext3 has stayed
error-free even when I hit reset in the busiest of write operations.

Once I had reiserfs stick everything in /usr into /lost+found. That was
pretty bad....


Reiser4, in my Gentoo tests, also stayed as reliable as ext3. That
surprised me.
