Heh... a crash is not only "a form" but probably "the form" of reboot 
Matt was thinking of.

I've watched ReiserFS crash and burn in horribly bad ways that the 
resulting fsck upon reboot took a long weekend to complete.

Of the various Linux filesystems I've used, I'm come to prefer XFS.  The 
slowest operation seems to be deleting directories with large numbers of 
files.  Otherwise, though, it's reasonably zippy and quite stable.
