A raid controller wont help you on a bus hang. I learned that the hard way
last night when a MegaRAID got a bus hang and totalled my /usr/src in the
process as I had it set to write back.
Ext2fs isnt happy when the last 20Mb of so of writes,(not in the order it wanted
them to happen either) go missing.
