We've seen disk corruption on 1/4th of our fwsm's.  The symptom we
saw was that 'write mem' didn't actually write to disk.  We found it
via script that happened to compare timestamps on the filesystems
between active/standby modules.

This was on 2.3(something).  We got a bug filed.  Last I heard the
plan was to fix 'write mem' so you would get an error message rather
than addressing the filesystem problems.
