XFS

Is anyone using XFS? I have an 18TB NAS that I have to set up. I've 
always used ext3. But fsck for 18TB is unbearable to think about. XFS 
seems to be actively supported, but the one time I used it a couple of 
years ago was disastrous. A sudden shutdown of the system left the 
partition unrecoverable. Linux Journal this month has a 
Point/Counterpoint 'debate' on Ext3 vs. XFS but it's not conclusive. Any 
suggestions, recommendations?
