Someone was talking about some of the BSDs and journaling (lack of) file
systems. We have a BSD box which runs their FS with softupdates, and it
seems to be rather robust even after power failures, probably not as good
as XFS, but so far we have not had that many issues with the machine (300+
GB and it is not hooked to an UPS so it gets plenty of power related down
times). Incidentally I lost a lot of data off an SGI machine running XFS
after a power failure (during the rolling black outs a couple of years
back).
