Yes, I heard that also about ReiserFS. But practically, I've lost
files using ext3 (I used it for some months). Too many, so I stopped
using it. I've never lost files using ReiserFS (since years of usage)
until this week - and only two tmp files were lost. About XFS, which I
used for a year or so, had namely the problem of sudden system crash.
The filesystem didn't get corrupted, but simply some files (mostly
important ones) were blank after reboot.

About blaming Plan9... I only wanted to help catching an important
problem, if the problem is there. This way I planned giving as much
information as possible. Sorry if my words sound like a blame - my
English is poor, and I often miss those writting nuances.
