A small additional note ...  If there's a _hardware_ crash
(e.g. power outage) which causes a track write of the HDD
to be interrupted, you will get corruption.  There is *no*
file system that protects you from such damage, except
probably Sun's ZFS in a mirror configuration (because of
its COW, checksumming and self-healing features).

Best regards
   Oliver
