:If the disk layer ack'ed the block, it should be on stable storage,
:right? Otherwise it isn't. To me that would mean that we just have to
:write out all blocks in flight (those with errors) and the ones we
:didn't even write yet. Of course that's only true for non-caching
:media, but what can you do.

Nope. The device is virtually guaranteed to ack the block before
it reaches stable storage, particularly if it is a flash device.
