That just moves the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think
there's anything special that the filesystem can do that we can't.
The filesystems that support CRCs are more like ZFS than ext3. They do
all writes to a new location, thus fragmenting the files. That may be a
good trade-off for some people, but it's not free.
