I have observed data corruption due to crappy penguin filesystem.
I have not spent the time to figure out exactly how it happens.
I assume the source code is available.

Unix has had read-ahead & write-behind for decades. Any write-behind
will result in lost data if the system goes down hard. With softdeps
at least you don't lose the data that did make it out to disk.
