[OpenZFS Developer] hash function with FEC

2014-07-07 Thread Neal H. Walfield
Hi, It is possible for a bit-flip to change data that is to be written to disk after its hash has been computed, but before it has been sent to disk. This is primarily a concern for systems without ECC RAM. It is possible to correct (some of) these errors by including some forward error

Re: [OpenZFS Developer] hash function with FEC

2014-07-07 Thread Garrett D'Amore
My gut is that adding FEC in software to handle bit errors in RAM is rather pointless. While this covers a single case of a bit error in a disk block in the narrow window of time between computation and write to disk, it leaves a huge wide open barn door for all the other times. The data for
