Being totally new to AWS, why does everyone skip right past using ZFS? http://blogs.sun.com/marchamilton/entry/a_brilliant_argument_for_zfs http://blogs.sun.co

  ZFS will ensure that what was written to disk comes back to memory consistently, or with errors spotted. It wont ensure that the right thing was written to disk, or that the database IDs which were written leave your database relationships in a consistent state, etc. ZFS will do nothing about this "More recently we also discovered that these disks will also frequently report that a disk transaction has been committed to hardware but are flat-out lying.", for instance, other than tell you the data you want isn't there to be read - like any filesystem would.
