Checks a disk is writable and functioning properly by writing a tiny canary file with unique generated contents and then reading it back to make sure it was written properly.

Useful to detect I/O errors and disks that have been re-mounted read-only as often happens when I/O errors in the disk subsystem are detected by the kernel.
