I am saying about instability of kfs.
I am getting the same bug on several different computers,
unless a fix is applied. When kfs is rebooted after power failure,
it reports wrenwrite errors in endless loop.
The fix is to flush dirty blocks to disk after checking and reparing
and before kfs is launched. The fix is simple, but the problem
is that I can't understand why it matters. It is a race, if enough
debuggin output is added, the bug disappears due to accidental slowdown.
Everyone has UPSes these days, so people just don't notice.
Not everyone lives in a region when blackouts last for hours
occasionally.
