to ensure consistency you should turn off physical drive caches, and 
degrade performance significantly, sometimes up to 1000x. if this is 
what you want, you may use either zfs or sync ufs. in such case you may 
be almost sure that your filesystems are consistent. but if you use 
drive's cache, then without UPS you will face data loss and vanished 
filesystem earlier or later
