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?
I was refering to the situation that you bring an dead / down device
online again.
When the replication cleaned up every files there are quite some ghosts
on the once dead device.
