Yeah I guess I should have clarified that I’m really just in a consumer scenario. I mean I don’t want data corruption but every article or blog post I have read about ZFS says you should use it with ECC RAM. I would love to use ECC RAM but the support with my particular AMD computers is iffy. I think it’ll work on my 5700X computer, but not my 5600G computer.
- postmodest 3y agoYou can use ZFS without ECC. The failure mode for ZFS without ECC is the same as the failure mode for Ext4 without ECC: your files are corrupt. The difference is that ZFS tells you. ...ok, also, ZFS tries to use a separate file cache on top of Linux's cache, and allocates half your RAM to it. I would not use ZFS on a laptop, or even a workstation. I do use it on file servers and Proxmox. On workstations I use lvm raid and xfs.
