Hmmm, okay, according to what you read here... yes... my personal
experience (ok, I am repeating me) is that I never, really never had such
a stability and data security than with the last versions of AFS. It
simply translates to: I do not loose one single byte as long as there is
no hardware defect (head crash... and the best filesystem wont be able to
do anything to recover the data.)

I didnt count them, but I didnt see such many guys here stating that AFS
crashed the data on the systems..

Anyway in this terms of definition you are _completely_ right. AFS isnt
stable (or at least doesnt seem to be stable, sorry, for that, but I never
saw it failing I only _heard_ about AFS failing) for _everyone_.

But other way around, is FFS stable for everyone? In my oppinion this isnt
actually true...

Now the question: Which filesystems fails more often in percent of total
use? For my system the answer is clear: FFS

To give a complete answer will would need some research and surveys about
that. So I more and more guess that it is not worth discussing which
filesystem is more stable unless we would have such researchs.
