Indeed. This is why I aggressively checksum everything and pay particular attention to throwing away all data that was written after any detected corruption during recovery. This is easier with the log-only architecture. It's also totally os and filesystem agnostic. I was happily surprised yesterday when it passed tests on fuchsia :]

So you might end up throwing away everything. (I know, it's not your fault)

Users can rely on sequential recovery. At some point I'll probably write a partial recovery tool that gives you all versions of all keys that are at all present anywhere in the readable file though, which won't be much work. Typical best practices encourage moving away from single disk reliance for particularly valuable data, but this library will also work on phones etc... So it is important to support people when a wide variety of things go wrong.
