No.

It simply means that if somebody says there never was a corruption problem 
with 'X' or 'Y' filesystem, it is just because he didn't find it, but I'm 
sure somebody else did. I have had corruptions with reiserfs, ext3, and 
xfs - ie, with all I have used in linux. And of course, also with fat. 
Ntfs I have used very little.

No filesystem is completely and absolutely safe. That's my main point.
