Any filesystem might have bugs and you can't rely on fsck to alleviate that problem (in fact it might make it worse). That problem is solved by having backups.

That problem is solved by having backups. ZFS dis not a replacement for backups.
Oh, and there's always zdb, the ZFS debugger, you can use it to walk the on-disk structures.
- tjoff 14y agoThe fsck can't make it worse if you mirror the drive first. Also, is "you can't rely on fsck to alleviate that problem" an argument for not having an fsck?
