Does zfs support error correcting instead of just finding (already) broken files?
I have been waiting for such a feature for like 15 years now. Without it, zfs is just a fad and useless filesystem (all that complexity for NOTHING).
ext2 for the win! still
- tecleandor 5mo agoI don't know if I'm understanding your question, but ZFS actively corrects data on disk when it finds a checksum error [0]. Those checksum errors can be found when accessing that data, or doing a 'scrub' action that scans the whole volume to check integrity. -- 0: https://klarasystems.com/articles/troubleshooting-zfs-common-issues-how-to-fix-them/
- olavgg 5mo agoZFS supports self healing, you do not have scrub, it will be corrected during a bad read as long you have a copy. Metadata has 2 copies by default for additional safety for a single disk.
