Great :-)
With the size of the disks and filesystems these days you can end up not
touch large portions of them for a long time. As to why you did crash
when touch them, you were lucking. Finally this is probably a bug in
WAPBL because it is supposed to maintain metadata file system integrity,
but in this case it did not?
