XFS will not flush itself to disk entirely on sync() as far as I know (see #317479). You need to fsync() everything you touch, and you need to be able #to *read* and *replay* xfs logs to boot if xfs is not shutdown safely before it flushes itself. Avoid xfs on /boot and /, it is easier on your heart... and *never* hibernate XFS if you are going to need the data in that partition *before* fully waking up... (and you always need / and /boot if you suspend-to-disk...) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
