Ha. I have a different experience with administering a News system,
which had a number (well, 16) of XFS file systems of a bit over 1TB each
which were completely turned over every 6-7 days, and it worked well and
reliably. You can of course always tell your customers to go to Giganews
and get back their data, but it's not good for customer satisfaction :)
The corollary of this is that there is no reason to use ReiserFS unless
you are certifiable, which he turned out to be as well.
