I hadn't considered that. It certainly makes sense. Writing to a file system that you're checking to be sure it's not corrupted is actually kind of a weird thing to do, isn't it?
That actually makes a point about current standards and practices not necessarily making sense -- even if they are what we're accustomed to using.
