>Description:
The "Bugs" section's first paragraph is:
Fewer than 32 read errors on the filesystem are ignored.
This is just too scary and needs some explanation so that users may make
an informed decision whether to use this for backup or not, how much it
may be trusted, why 32 errors is no big deal, etc.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
================
>Fix:
Research the facts and then write a replacement for the above
"Bugs" paragraph.
