Shouldn't there be some way to prevent this?
(the drive has been sacrificed to the gods of recycling :)
I have 4 happy drives left - most of which are busy doing something. I
have enough flakey hardware present that another such error could happen
at some random point in the future - and I'll lose everything I was
working on on the _GOOD_ drives.
There should be SOME error recovery - even as much as a "sync" command.
[even sysrq froze]
G'day, eh? :)
