and last-generation hardware is very, very cheap.
Yes, of course, it is. But, actually, is that a true statement? I've read
that it's *NOT* advisable to run ZFS on systems which do NOT have ECC
RAM. And those cheapo last-gen hardware boxes quite often don't have
ECC, do they?
So, I wonder - what's the recommendation, or rather, experience as far
as home users are concerned? Is it "safe enough" now do use ZFS on
non-ECC-RAM systems (if backups are around)?
It's as safe as running any other OS.
The big difference is ZFS will tell you when there's a corruption. Most
users of other systems are blissfully unaware of data corruption!
All my desktops use ZFS, none have ECC.
