Aren't these atomic writes only a reflection of the fact that data is written out as blocks?

- convolvatron 9y agowell, yeah, it wouldn't otherwise be necessary for the writes to be fully serialized (because blocks and the cache traditionally, but really anything) edit: its also worth noting that even in the traditional implementation since the block interface doesn't provide atomicity on faults this is kinda probabilistic anyways
