Jerome's answer was a bit off-topic anyways, because I clearly stated that my
incident had nothing to do with XFS per se, and the problem was that something
had overwritten most of my root partition.

I've found XFS to be stable in that category as well, like most other journaling
systems. I'm not the right person to say, but I'm sure changes to a directory's
listing are also journaled/atomic, so actually losing the connection to an inode
is rare.
