Given a disk drive that lies about write complete (which is to to say,
most consumer-grade IDE gear), it's at least theoretically possible.
But it doesn't sound real likely, especially if the machine didn't
actually lose power.
I was wondering what he meant by "hang", as well as what he meant by
"commit". The overall lack of detail in the report is notable.
