:If the disk layer ack'ed the block, it should be on stable storage, :right? Otherwise it isn't. To me that would mean that we just have to :write out all blocks in flight (those with errors) and the ones we :didn't even write yet. Of course that's only true for non-caching :media, but what can you do. : :cheers : simon
Nope. The device is virtually guaranteed to ack the block before
it reaches stable storage, particularly if it is a flash device.
