Well data files are only ever written to in 8k chunks. Maybe these
errors are only occuring on >8k xlog records such as records with
multiple full page images. I'm not sure how much we write for other
types of files but they won't be written to as frequently as xlog or
data files and might not cause errors that are as noticeable.
