Me too.  But the "known failure modes" that people keep reporting
about have to do with completely trashing, say, a whole page of data.
Your directories are fine, but the data is all hosed.

I've never had it happen.  I've never seen anyone who can
consistently reproduce it.  But I've certainly read about it often
enough to have pretty serious reservations about relying on the
filesystem for data I can't afford to lose.
