Since storage is generally cheap-ish, and data is invaluable, a mirror vdev in ZFS, which *detects* and *corrects* bit rot is the only way to go. All the other features are just icing on the cake. _______________________________________________ Ale mailing list [email protected] https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo
