We've all pulled the wrong drive out of a machine or unplugged a USB key before the write back has completely finished. You try to plug it back in, but the damage is done.

This session would be more of a discussion than a presentation since I've not written a single line of code towards fixing the problem. I have written a web page sketching out an architecture for how we might make this work:
