ZFS on Linux (Was: Corrupt file system)

[Eli Billauer]

Thanks, Ori.

ZFS sounds interesting indeed. The question that comes to mind is: It's 
a different creature, with significant emphasis on stability and data 
integrity. How come it's unknown? Isn't this exactly what all companies 
with a lot of servers want?

Anyone on this list using ZFS on his or her own computer?

As for RAM corruption, I pretty much doubt it. I've seen a lot of it on 
embedded systems I've worked with. It always goes along with programs 
crashing suddenly and weird kernel messages. But my computer has been 
stable as a rock for several years.

Regards,
    Eli
