No doubt, but you then do then *exactly* the same thing with cwfs.
To my certain knowledge, it is possible for the old file server to lose
data and files, sometimes catastrophically so, forcing a recover main,
and sometimes, a recover further back. That's unsurprising if you look
at the code. It's easy to fix by making it really, really slow at writing.
And even then, your drives will have buffered the data and not written it.
There's a good reason my file servers were on UPS.
Even that isn't guaranteed, because notoriously, you'll find the UPS battery has gone
just when you need it.
