So? Do you think filesystem metadata is stored in a magical pixie cloud, or on the same unreliable physical hardware where it can easily get corrupted, especially after a crash or an unexpected power loss? I posted this link here already: https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jaffer https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jaffer f2fs (at least in its state a couple of years ago) is/was a prime example of how a filesystem can get into a barely working state with massive amounts of data and metadata corruption, and not even notice it. God I love this site. In case of a minor disagreement with someone don't even bother to think, just press "downvote".
