Linda,

In the past (2.4.x kernel) XFS had significant data loss issues in the
presence of unexpected shutdowns.

Since desktops/laptops tend to have these much more than servers, I
would not have wanted it to be the default at all during those times.

Has its' resiliency greatly increased? If not, I don't think it is a
good choice for the openSUSE default fs.
