Use a journalising file system such as ext3?
I do, but during testing (where I've hit the reset button and pulled out
the power leads), I've seen warnings about not being shutdown properly
and fsck should be done on the drive. I don't know how much I can
ignore such warnings, and just carry on hoping for the best.
It'd be better if there was no need to "recover", that the drive was
only being written to if you were actually saving data to it.
But, how do you guarantee that the power doesn't fail DURING THE
DISC WRITE? Pulling power on a disc during a write, can cause it
to scribble all over the disc.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
