This is like saying "there's no point in ECC if it can't correct every error" ... which simply isn't true. It's still far better to know that corruption exists

This is like saying "there's no point in ECC if it can't correct every error" ... which simply isn't true. It's still far better to know that corruption exists -- so you can know something is invalid and potentially take action -- than to have corruption silently hanging around doing corrupted data things.
- z3t4 8y agoThat is not a fair comparison as ECC is Error Correcting, while just check-summing is not. If you however have a mirror or raid-Z the file system will be able to correct.
