Actually I've seen anecdotal evidence that XFS with its
aggressive write-caching has caused data-loss in the
event of power-failures.

I'm not certain how sensible Reiser, which is optimised
for efficiency with small files, would be for a postgres
data directory in terms of performance.  ext3 or jfs
maybe?
