Yep, it's on purpose, I asked Quentin to keep the test on the update
volume path.

Well, I thought checking the CRC just after updating the volume made
sense, just to make sure things were written correctly on the medium.
Let's add a comment explaining why we keep the check here, unless you
see a strong reason to get rid of this check in the update path.
