idea: another state would be appreciated: initialize
when you first enter a device mark it initialize.
So it would cleanup old files / directories, does filesystem checks, ...
(just a thought)


First enter a device? If you're adding a brand-new device it should be freshly formatted? :) MogileFS is flexible about not caring how the device was initialized (or even if it has other data on it), so it's pretty nice to ignore that.

Having lost files in the middle of the device that are unlinked everywhere else is bad tho. Fsck could probably have a scrubber mode you'd run once in a while, while these bugs are fixed.

Or are you referring to something else?
