I think that this is mostly true, but we also need to balance this against the
need for higher levels to get a timely response. In a really large IO, a naive
retry of a very large write could lead to a non-responsive system for a very
large time...
And losing the I/O could result in a system that is non responsive until
the tape restore completes two days later....
Which brings us back to a recent discussion at the file system workshop on being
more repair oriented in file system design so we can survive situations like
this a bit more reliably ;-)
