XFS does not take well to non-clean unmounts of any sort, and does not journal data so the file data WILL be corrupt after a crash with in-flight writes. Any currently available filesystem will take ages to repair at that size, AFAIK, at least when you have the very large number of files one usually stores in big partitions. If you are going to use it to store 600 1GB files, then it may not matter nearly as much. If you can have a large number of small filesystems, it is much better for disaster recovery. And for that you will *have* to use LVM when you hit a non-trivial ammount of partitions. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
