I heard that even a journaled filesystems such as EXT3/EXT4 might corrupted during power failure, e.g. from wikipedia [1]:
In the event of a system crash or power failure,
such file systems are quicker to bring back online and
less likely to become corrupted.
Can anyone provide more detail by giving examples such that when
- corruption can occur
- corruption is avoided by journaled filesystems
