"mission critical service guarantee" and UNIX are antonyms Eric. The basic UNIX file system (UFS) still doesn't handle power failures well; the fsck check utility can run for 1/2 hour or more. The only solution is to purchase 3rd party products (Veritas) and thousands of dollars in RAID technology to guarantee that your box will survive a power blip. People migrating to UNIX from IBM AS400 and mainframe environments site this over and over.

NTFS on the other hand is very robust based on my experiences.
