It takes a day or two to do the sync. I've only done it twice (one with
the old kernel, once with the new fedora testing kernel) and it happened
both times. I'm afraid the statistics are rather low number here.
I did a different faster test (just copying my home directory lots of
times), but I wasn't able to get it to fail. That test didn't use much
disk space, however. Maybe it's worth just dd'ing a few TB of data onto
the device and seeing whether that fails.
I didn't reboot this time - I did last time. I just unmounted the file
system and fsckd it. The filesystem is 8.2TB and the data is around
2.5TB.
I think trying a filesystem with just under 8T would be a useful test too.
One other question - do you make use of xattrs on this filesystem?
No.
