xfs is my first choice for data loss. Poweroff in suspend and the root fs was bricked, twice. Never ever again.

Do you know what kernel version you were running?

Was this years ago, or more recently?

Last try was in maybe ~2012.

I learned from a collegue that if the hard drive implements barriers incorrectly, this can cause easy XFS corruptions. Maybe this was the reason, especially SSD firmwares are very complex these days...
