Never lost an XFS filesystem completely. Can't say the same about ext3.

just my 2 cents,

Anyway, it's currently in a RAID-1 configuration (which I used for some
initial soaktests) and seems to be just fine:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md9              6.8T   33M  6.7T   1% /mnt

  Incidentally, what filesystem are you using?  We may be setting up a
similar situation soon, and I'm considering ext3 and XFS.  ext3
apparently has a low max fs size, though, and I've heard bad things
about XFS's behavior on unclean shutdowns...
