Little addition to XFS, I tried it once a while ago. Every time the power failed, it would never boot again. I can say from personal experience and from what I have read from others, if you plan to use XFS, have a good UPS hooked up. It does not like power failures at all. YMMV
:) In the YMMV category, I've used XFS on pretty much every file server I've had in the last 4-5 years and it's never given me any trouble despite pretty much never having a UPS hooked up and a decent number of power outages. Granted, I never used it on my root filesystem, only storage partitions.
