This I do not know, either. Thank you for bringing this up. There is a
clear FAQ entry about ReiserFS not treating link() as synchronous because
of issues with QMail (and most other mail transfer agents, I think, but am
not sure).
I was under the impression that XFS treated the link() as a synchronous
operation. Maybe the experts can shed some light on this?

I agree. Thank you very much for the feedback. I will put information on
this in my slides as soon as I get a response from the XFS development
team.
