I never said that.  Like any other new piece of code, logfs has bugs.
Plain and simple.  And having blocks rot underneith you is something I
don't have automated tests for, so don't be surprised to find bugs in
this area.

If you send a patch or a nice test setup or even just a bug report, the
chances of getting those bugs fixed improve.
