To put a finer point on this, because it's a user data write error, it is up to userspace to cope, and xfs isn't going to indicate that it has an internal error (as it would for metadata writes). i.e. dd should have seen an error bubbled up, and you would then know to retry, error handle, take evasive action, etc as you see fit. -Eric
