I suspect this will be the #1 complaint about zfs as it becomes more

my data is corrupt!  zfs sux0rs!"


That's not the problem, so much as "zfs says my file system is corrupt, how
do I get past this?" With ufs, f'rinstance, I'd run an fsck, kiss the bad
file(s) goodbye, and be on my way. With zfs, there's this ominous message
saying "destroy the filesystem and restore from tape". That's  not so good,
for one corrupt file. And even better, turns out erasing the file might just
be enough. Although in my case, I now have a new bad object. Sun pointed me
to docs.sun.com (thanks, that helps!) but I haven't found anything in the
docs on this so far. I am assuming that my bad object 45654c is an inode
number of a special file of some sort, but what? And what does the range
mean? I'd love to read the docs on htis
