'"An atomic write is a write issed with torn-write protection. This means for a power failure or any hardware failure all or none of the data from the write will be stored, never a mix of old and new data. […] Since it's now possible to have filesystem block size > page size for XFS, it's possible to write 4K+ blocks atomically on x86"'
