In helping, first we conjecture what may break, then we show what does
break, then we (discover and) explain how to fix it.  So far, with Linux

"Try appending nonzero to multiple files in a round robin sequence, and
udf.ko reads back zero in place of the nonzero written.  mkfs in place
of mkudffs reads back only the nonzero written."
