Was this pack created on a journaled file system? Reiserfs? Ext3?
If there's journal corruption in a commonly used filesystem,
That Would Be Bad.
In private mail, it was indicated that this was an ext3 with the
data=writeback option. From mount(1), man page, ext3 section:
writeback
Data ordering is not preserved - data may be written into
the main file system after its metadata has been commit‐
ted to the journal. This is rumoured to be the highest-
throughput option. It guarantees internal file system
integrity, however it can allow old data to appear in
files after a crash and journal recovery.
All bets are off when data=writeback.
