You would flush the SSD memory to "disk", right?

When you have dirty writes in the kernel that have not yet been written to disk, in the old days of ext2 (before XFS was ported to Linux) if the power would go out, or you would have a bad disk, when fsck.ext2 would run, if files could not be matched to a directory, they would placed in the /lost+found as, and hopefully my memory is intact, as inode numbers, so you would have 1232342343, 123246564 etc and then you would have to look at each file to figure out what it was and where to move it if it was salvageable.

Brought back some memories.
