The article focuses on computer crash mitigation in Von Neumann computer architecture. The authors propose reexamining the way that the file system's fundamental abstractions are set up. Topics include their research on the problems that crashes pose in the real world in terms of data corruption and loss of data. The article looks at the example of a database management system that stores data in one file. The authors discuss their study that found 30 vulnerabilities in 11 computer software applications that they looked at.
