[Bug 453579] Re: corruption of large files reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4

[Brian Rogers]

The BitTorrent crash scenario doesn't indicate a bug. The only way for
an application to know about uncommitted writes is to scan the file (for
example by rehashing in this instance). To avoid doing this every time
it's started, it saves a record of what parts have been downloaded. In a
crash, this record may be more up to date than what's actually saved to
the disk.
