[zfs-discuss] Data loss by memory corruption?
Inspired by the paper End-to-end Data Integrity for File Systems: A ZFS Case Study [1], I've been thinking if it is possible to devise a way, in which a minimal in-memory data corruption would cause massive data loss. I could imagine a scenario where an entire directory branch drops off the tree structure, for example. Since I know too little about ZFS's structure, I'm also asking myself if it is possible to make old snapshots disappear via memory corruption or lose data blocks to leakage (not containing data, but not marked as available). I'd appreciate it if someone with a good understanding of ZFS's internals and principles could comment on the possibility of such scenarios.

[zfs-discuss] 2.5 to 3.5 bracket for SSD
I have a couple of Sun/Oracle x2270 boxes and am planning to get some 2.5 intel 320 SSD for the rpool. Do you happen to know what kind of bracket is required to get the 2.5 SSD to fit into the 3.5 slots? Thanks ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
