I've had a partition just up and disappear with xfs. Something similar with
reiserfs as well. It's been a while now, but I wouldn't trust any vital
information to anything but the ext family just yet. It would probably be
fine for a tmp style recordings directory though. Micah do you have any
links to benchmarks proving that XFS is "way" faster than ext3? Not that I
don't believe you, I'm just interested in seeing quantisized data on the
subject.
