Forward this from the linux-xfs list, in hoping that decision-makers will consider XFS as the default suse OS install choice.
In the past (2.4.x kernel) XFS had significant data loss issues in the presence of unexpected shutdowns.
I am afraid, this sounds a bit vague: please check, if in those cases the storage backends had been configured correctly: every journaling filesystem will suffer from data corruption, if there are any caches (such as disk write cache) inbetween the write and the disk.
It was very well known and accepted in the 2002-2005 timeframe that xfs on linux often would replace the content of files with nulls. ANd I mean exclusively nulls. Thus many people that had the poor luck to use xfs for their home directory had the kde config files turned into null filled files due to a power outage.
