I used ext3 over a device-backed loop-aes for three years on a linux  
file server. It was only 2 terabytes, and didn't see lots of  
production use, but I never lost any data. And yes, in the course of  
three years there were at least two or three power outages and  
unscheduled reboots.

I'm not sure that this demonstrates anything, but I'm confident in the  
stability of loop-aes for my personal servers.
