write("foo");
<-- crash
write("bar");
Your file now has "foo" and not "bar". The fact that "foo" hit the
journal first, and may or may not have hit the final location before
the crash doesn't change the fact that you crashed between the two
write calls, so "bar" is certainly lost, and if "foo" did hit the
disk, then you have a partially written, and thus corrupt file.
