When Amnesia Strikes: Understanding and Reproducing Data Loss Bugs with Fault Injection

Summary: LazyFS models POSIX persistence (ordering, atomicity) to inject lost/torn writes and reproducibly trigger complex crash/durability bugs. With operation/persistence profiling it automates reproducing reports across seven systems and found eight new data-loss/corruption bugs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
