because i don't want bitrot to destroy the thousands of pictures and
memories i keep? i keep important personal documents, etc. filesystem
corruption is not a feature to me. perhaps i spoke incorrectly but i
consider COW to be one of the reasons a filesystem can keep itself in
check, the disk write will be transactional and guaranteed if it says
successful, correct?

i still plan on using offsite storage services to maintain the
physical level of redundancy (house burns down, equipment is stolen,
HDs will always die at some point, etc.) but as a user who has had
corruption happen many times (FAT32, NTFS, XFS, JFS) it is encouraging
to see more options that put emphasis on integrity...

huh.  As a SOHO user, why do you care about COW?
