well, FAT16/FAT32/EXT2 are not journalled, so making them lose data in a giant variety of ways is a trivial affair. You might want a higher bar than that.

- Spivak 4y agoYeah, when you get down to it the opinion really boils down to "the file system is broken iff it doesn't lose data for the use-cases I personally use it for."
- Beldin 4y agoThat's the point: if file systems that basic would NOT lose data, then it is unacceptable if another file system does. Maybe to put it differently: new file systems should offer improvements wrt reliability for stable features of the file systems of the previous generation; regressions are unacceptable.
