- duskwuff 4y ago> It’s shocking how often it is finding and fixing data corruption. That isn't normal. You've got a problem, probably in your drive enclosure or your interconnect to it. I have a 40 TB RAID array that's been running for years with monthly scrubs, and I don't believe there's ever been a mismatch detected.
- pmarreck 4y agoI'll investigate, it's probably the drive cable as it's a 2-drive external enclosure, but the point was that hardware and software data failures happen, and ZFS is there to save the day
- rincebrain 4y agoThat is so far from normal I can't begin to underscore how worried you should be.
