I hate to sound like an XFS preacher, but XFS is really that good.  You 
can yank the power cable from your box, and boot up and the recovery 
will still be just about instantaneous.  I've, thankfully, never had a 
recovery fail.  From what i'm reading fsck.xfs is nothing more than 
/bin/true, although on my box its not the same size as the /bin/true 
binary, so i can't readily confirm it.  Are you having recovery 
problems, or is this just a 'what if' type question?
