I have completely lost partitions in reiserfs, ext3, and xfs. All three of them. Lots of lost data.
And I keep using the three of them. But I will not swear by any of them. I just make backups, because I know I will loose data again. I don't know when, I simply know I will.
This is really FS independent, this will happen on whatever software, hardware, and FS one uses. What would be useful is a real world MTF (mean time to failure) stat as well as performance stats, so one can make decisions about real world reliability as well as performance. What we have is a lot of anecdotal information, but very little one can pin numbers on.
No, I'm talking about real software failures in the filesystem. XFS, for instance: nimrodel:~ # xfs_repair /dev/hdd8 Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log ... disconnected dir inode 46144142, moving to lost+found disconnected inode 46170775, moving to lost+found corrupt inode 46170775 (btree). This is a bug. Please report it to xfs@oss.sgi.com. cache_node_purge: refcount was 1, not zero (node=0x82e8af8) fatal error -- 117 - couldn't iget disconnected inode nimrodel:~ # It's on bugzilla. No response. :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
