- FooBarWidget 8y agoI am hoping for something built into the filesystem so that it works transparently. :(
- lathiat 8y agoZFS does have the option of storing 2 copies even on the same disk (zfs set copies=2), unfortunately it doesn't have an ECC-style option for the same disk you need to use multiple disks in which case it will transparently fix things in a RAID-Z if it can.
- toast0 8y agoYou can set the copies setting differently for different parts of the filesystem which could potentially help -- if you have /home/ set to two copies at least you're not paying double for programs. Alternatively, you could set up multiple partitions and run raidz across them, but performance is going to be awful.
