also note that the message from Ted was back in 2004, there has been a _lot_ of work done on XFS in the last 4 years.
Sure, I know they've made progress, which is why I didn't also bring up older ugly problems like delayed allocation issues reducing files to zero length on XFS. I thought that particular issue was pretty fundamental to the logical journal scheme XFS is based on. What's you'll get out of disk I/O at smaller than the block level is pretty unpredictable when there's a failure.
