That again? I'll just point to this post from Ted in 2004:
http://zork.net/~nick/mail/why-reiserfs-is-teh-sukc
It's the same FUD about XFS journalling and power failures that Ted
has been claiming for the past 10+ years. It's been rebutted so many
times I can now do it in three words: volatile drive caches.
Cheers,
Dave.
