Are you sure? An XLogwrtRqst contains a write and a flush pointer, so I
assume they can be different.
I agree that it sounds unlikely that blocks 100 and 102 would be
written, but not 101. But perhaps that's more likely in systems like ZFS
where the physical blocks might be in very different places.
