Hi Amir,

We reported these bugs separately on the two mailing lists because,
though the workload was the same, the behavior/bug was different on
the two filesystems. On ext4 there was data loss, while on xfs the
fzero operation was not persisted even after a fsync.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will CC our future reports to these lists.

Thanks,
