When I used it, I found it had a tendency to zero out files which were open for writing during a system crash.
This was pretty much a FAQ and very much by design. See for example:

- colanderman 15y agoInteresting. I don't buy the security argument though. If, after a crash, the file size is larger than the actual extents, why not just truncate the file size to match the extents?
- gcp 15y agoBecause there's no guarantees the extents actually point to the file data.
