Welcome to the world of meta data journalling file systems. They recover
the file names for you, but not the file contents after a crash. There's
nothing leafnode could fix.
fsync() for articles fetched from the upstream would slow down fetching
even more.

Oh hum, there might be another leafnode bug, or it might be a client
bug. Can you send me one of the broken article files to my private
address?
OTOH, texpire should also kill corrupted articles.
