Hrm. In ACID it mainly means "no rollbacks". And rollbacks (of mutable files) are one of the parts of the Tahoe-LAFS consistency model that is *weaker* than other models such as ACID. So, I don't know. Excluding the potential conflict with the ACID terminology, I would say that "durability" is a better term than "survivability" for this property.
