 dsaxena:
 > Must we also pay attention to whether we're booted off of the peripheral
 storage device in question?

 Yes; we outright die if try to resume when / is on SD, so we need to
 inhibit that.

 ossman:
 > Also, FAT will be fine using just sync

 Thanks!  That's a much better option.  (I wonder whether we already do
 it.)

 > The partition table problem is most likely something else. The only so
 far known problem is lost writes, which should not cause any partition
 table issues. My first guess would be something power related.

 Okay; we need to concentrate on this symptom.
