fsck.s3ql will just assume that there is no cached data, i.e. that all
dirty data has been flushed and the cache emptied before the crash.
So the filesystem should continue to work, but you may have stale data
in files or (in case where new data was appended but not yet updated) to
will have holes in the files.
