Responding to ext4 journal corruption
I believe in the
superiority of copy-on-write file systems over journaling file
systems, but problems such as the one discussed can happen in
copy-on-write file systems like Btrfs, too, unless they are carefully
implemented; i.e., they must not reuse freed blocks until one or two
checkpoints have made it to the disk (two, if you want to survive if
the last checkpoint becomes unreadable).
