I actually haven't been bitten, but there have been bug reports out there...

Sigh.  JFS2.  Which hasn't been ported to Linux...

I have seen data loss on unclean shutdown (where loss is liable to be
pretty total :-() with all of:
 - JFS 1
 - XFS
 - Ext3

I'm most inclined to use ext3 for databases, as that's the most mature
*and* most actively worked on filesystem.  IBM actually sponsors the
team that's working on ext3, which might seem a mite ironic...  And
I'm not sure what has survived of SGI to support XFS...

I hope it was useful.

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
