Those of us, who did (without UPS), will never do it again.
I've used ext2 and ext3 extensively on all of the boxes here,
every since each first became available. I developed Linux IDE,
the first IDE DMA, lots of custom storage drivers, and more recently
worked on libata drivers. This meant a LOT of sudden and catastrophic
system failures, as the bugs and other kinks were worked on.
Never lost a nibble. Totally, utterly reliable stuff for everyday use.
*WITH* the write-caches all enabled on all of the drives, too.
Sure, sudden power-failures could have a better chance of corrupting data,
but those are really rare, and the few that have happened were again non-events
here.
That's the difference between theory and practice.
