Interesting. So XFS is not only a Bad Idea for /, but also for anything that might enter S3/S4. Not nice. I sure hope it doesn't do a half-assed job of flushing and checkpointing itself during machine shutdown/restart like it apparently does when told to "sync" before S3/S4... Would you be so kind to disclose to us, the uninitated, which other filesystems are unsafe when faced with a sleep/suspend request? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
