I agree with you, but only 50%. Mirroring will only mask the problem and will delay the fs corruption (Depending on who zfs responds to data corruption. Does it go back and recheck the blocks later or just marks them bad?)
The problem lies in somewhere in hardware, but certainly not in disks. I have over 20 machines exhibiting the same behavior. If I put a raid card in between the problem disappears altogether. ...Sanjaya -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 11:59 AM To: Srivastava, Sanjaya Cc: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS Filesytem Corrpution Srivastava, Sanjaya wrote: > I have been seeing data corruption on the ZFS filesystem.

Personally, I've had less than satisfactory reliability experiences with 160 GByte disks from a variety of vendors.
