It's not likely to happen. If you're modifying data in-place (as is the case on nodatacow files), then there's a window of vulnerability between modifying the data and modifying the checksum records during which the checksums are incorrect. This breaks the consistency guarantees of the FS. Hugo. -- Hugo Mills | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. hugo@... carfax.org.uk | http://carfax.org.uk/ | PGP: E2AB1DE4 |
