See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6380 Thank you, guys! Running an automated test case simulating switching the power off while writing data for a thousand times might still be a good idea if it has not already been done yet and someone can fund it. Too bad that the XFS fix from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6757 still did not make it into a stable kernel release for 2.6.17! I stronly recommend to apply it if you want to use 2.6.17 and probably 2.6.16 as well!
