Comment(by Quozl):

 Tested on os55, root partition is mounted ''data=writeback'', and
 ''noatime'', other mount points within it are mounted ''relatime''.

 I tried and was unable to generate corruption that Sugar cannot deal with.

 Creating zero-filled files isn't what application authors are used to, and
 we might expose latent bugs.  But I'm happy to close this bug if there is
 someone else who agrees.

 I presume there is some advantage to ''data=writeback''.
