I think things have changed since then.  I have had to on a couple 
occasions unplug my rig or use the halt command and not have a clean 
shutdown.  It fixes the errors when I reboot, if any.  I have read where 
others have done the same with no losses. 

I have tried XFS and others and had trouble in these areas before.  That 
is one reason I use reiserfs and it came highly recommended because it 
can recover so well.

On XFS, if you have a UPS and can always have a clean shutdown, very 
cool.  It seriously hates unclean shutdowns.
