As someone who is heavily dependent on zfs, this is a little bit of reassurance. Sad that data corruption exists in any file system that is shipped too many people, but reassuring that it happens to the most stable and least "interesting" in the newness sense file systems. ZFS's own recent file system corruption issue is in roughly the same category of edge case, but accessible to reasonable if niche workloads.

Yeah, all the threads full of folks bashing on ZFS because their trusty ext won’t corrupt data should be eating crow right about now, but I’m sure they’ll hop in and explain why this bug is different.

Severity: grave I'm not sure if that's a standard value, but it made me chuckle a little.

"Causes non-serious data loss". What does that mean. Only affects cat videos?
