reiser4 is fully atomic. A transactions happens completely or it doesn't.

Unlike ext4 or btrfs or xfs.

reiser4 also uses barriers (the others use them too, but), when barriers are 
not available for some reason or another, it complains in dmesg and goes into 
sync mode. 

This combined makes it pretty robust against power failures. You won't get the 
good old xfs/ext4/btrfs problem that a rename can end with two useless empty 
files.
