>> So while I would never say that no one has ever hit the problem unknowingly, I feel pretty confident that they haven't. And if you're not sure, ask yourself if you've ever had highly parallel workloads that involve writing and seeking the same files at the same moment.

It makes it sound unlikely, but if I have a couple of VMs in datasets (all formatted as ext4 internally and some running DBs inside them) each is one big `raw` file which is getting a lot of reads and writes, I assume.

How are they at risk?

Also, what about ZVOLs mounted as ext4 drives in these VMs?
