Very probable, I do not remember if we had them. But we were testing on
top of eMMC with not write-cache.
Anyway, that was long time ago.
While on it, one problem I remember in an unrelated testing of ext3 on
top of eMMC was related to _read_ errors. Sometimes after an power cut
eMMC returned an ECC error, so a sector could be unreadable. But after
writing to this sector it became fine.
ext3 and the tools treated a read error as fatal. However, in case of
eMMC that was something "normal".
I do not know how the situation changes since then, this was probably in
2009.
