Hello Dave,
Thanks for the explanation and your suggestion to use wsync option.

Hi,
I issue 'mkdir abc' on my xfs partition the cut off the power. After

Because you didn't sync(1) the filesystem or fsync(2) the directory
before you cut the power. Hence the change never hit the disk.
However, when I do that on ext4
the 'abc' direcory is always created after reboots.
That'll be pure fluke - ext4 delays journal writes on namespace
operations just like XFS does.
All the
settings, about mount options are default for my distro. What am I
missing or how do I change the things of the jounral or whatever?
If you want directory operations to hitthe disk immediately, then
mount with the "-o wsync" option. Be aware, however, that this will
kill performance unless you have expensive storage with a large
amount of battery backed write cache in front of the disks. There's
a good chance it will also cause excessive wear on SSDs due to the
frequent journal writes.
Cheers,
Dave.
