Actually I can, but it required bad RAM *and* a broken disk controller
*and* an electrical storm *and* heavy disk loads (only read loads,
but I didn't have noatime active so read implied write).

In my personal experience it's since weathered machines with `only' RAM
so bad that md5sums of 512Kb files wouldn't come out the same way twice
with no problems at all (some file data got corrupted, unsurprisingly,
but the metadata was fine).

Definitely an FS to be relied upon.
