Non-serializable histories can result in wrong data even if all
transactions involved are atomic.  Of course, this is just a matter of
definitions Yours seems to include isolation. *shrug*

Steve clarified it (thanks!): xfs_fsr provides isolation, but not in
the way I hoped.  I have to stop the application anyway. 8-/ OTOH,
it's better to regenerate the files at the application level, anyway.
