> ZFS is notorious for corrupting itself when bit flips hit it and break the checksum on disk. If you have no mirrors and no raidz and no ditto blocks then errors cause problems, yes. Early on they would cause panics. But this isn't ZFS "corrupting itself", rather, it's ZFS saving itself and you from corruption, and the price you pay for that is that you need to add redundancy (mirrors, raidz, or ditto blocks). It's not a bad deal. Some prefer not to know.
