It sounds to me like a huge job to fix some issues "not unheard of"...

My point is: if we are trying to fix misbehaving drives/controllers 
(something that is more common than one might think), that's already 
done by ZFS on Solaris and FreeBSD, and will be done in btrfs for linux.

I understand not trusting drives/controllers; but not trusting a 
filesystem...


What am I missing? (I'm far from being an expert... I just don't 
understand...)
