Btw, before anybody asks: I do _not_ think that we should do fsync() etc.
We don't actually destroy any old state when we write a new object, so
even if the machine does go down, we really should just do an fsck and
then re-try the operation.
Anal people (or people with machines that crash) can add it later if they
really want.
