I think you've just been lucky on Linux so far, or running a decent
filesystem (not ext2), or something.  Turn on journaling for UFS, and be
glad that it can actually recover things.  For what it's worth, my ext2
drives always had errors on them whenever I lost power, though fsck was
able to "correct" them enough to mount the filesystem, generally causing
some lost data.
