Comment # 7 on bug 1052419 from
I did not report an issue as to "all NFS writes" and your quote as to this
seems to me to be malicious, I think it cannot be a mistake because a simple
string search on this page shows that the first appearance of those words is by
you.

I have the reported the *possibility* of data updates after checksums are
computed, that is as a result of unstable writes, in both the case of direct IO
and the NFS kernel server. In the case of direct IO this was confirmed by Josef
Bacik, as per the link in the Btrfs wiki, and in the case of the NFS kernel
server it was mentioned by a user on IRC. Additionally as a rule any
superficial analysis cannot easily prove (or disprove) the absence of race
conditions leading to unstable writes, and however rare race conditions and
unstable writes on busy servers can result in extensive data corruption.

You have the authority to ignore my friendly report and make accusations of
"FUD" that to me seem purely paranoid, and these remain on the record under
your name.
