no, its not my root - but my other partitions are also XFS and are on the same drive... so not really any way to check ATM.
Journalling filesystems shouldn't get corrupted by hangs or crashes...
I understood this in theory - but was rather pleased theory == practice. However, I didn't even notice a 'not unmounted cleanly' message during subsequent boots? I might just have missed it though - Debian's boot has gotten much 'chattier' over the years...
