Yeah, avoiding file systems that don't have any transaction nature is a sound principle.
I was dismayed that NTFS "was transactional" but that those transactions didn't mean that it saved user data, it just made sure that filenames and directory structure was preserved. That's entirely missing the point, guys. (Later, I got a peek at the user-data-level transactional extension to NTFS, and had a good case of the horrors. Run away; MSFT is deprecating it, last I heard, and good thing, too).
