>> Another solution is to make sure your system is reliable.

Not really an option, since I've seen huge data centers have UPS breakage or other circuit problems that take down all systems unexpectedly. Same for home servers, since you never no when your MB, CPU, PS, etc. is going to bite the dust.

I love the speed of Ext4, but if it's going to truncate files every time a non-redundant component dies, then I can't think of any situation where I would recommend it. It's too bad there's no mechanism between the FS and RAID such that the truncated files could be automagically recovered.

But let me be the first to thank you so much for your work investigating this and working toward a resolution. I honestly appreciate the hard work you devs are tackling.
