Re: [zfs-discuss] Need a link on data corruption

2010-08-11 Thread Lassi Tuura
Hi,

 Someone posted about CERN having a bad network card which injected faulty 
 bits into the data stream.

I've regularly heard people mention data corruption in network layer here - and 
other physics sites like FNAL and SLAC - but I don't have details of any 
specific incident. We do see our files get corrupted in transit every once in a 
while though. May be it was about this paper which details some of the findings?

I can't really speak to where ZFS would be in use in CERN's many 
infrastructures. I believe the big experiment data pools are all linux disk 
servers.

Regards,
Lassi

CERN generally uses Linux AFAICT:
