True most of the time. However, the only times I have seen serious ZODB 
corruption (that can't be recovered by fsrecover) have been due to 
sudden power loss.

I did get the data back, though, right up to the power outage, although 
it took a bit of work. (See the thread last week on using the index file 
to help in recovery.)
