You joke, but running ZFS on disk w/o ECC RAM is not a good idea. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/zfs-macos/qguq6LCf1QQ https://groups.google.com/f

- sp332 12y agoI've heard this from several sources, but is it worse than any other FS? I mean it seems obvious that data corrupted in RAM will be corrupted when you write it to disk. I think people are worried about software RAID vs hardware RAID, since all hardware RAID platforms have ECC cache and software RAID should too.
- j00lz 12y agoIt is worse as ram corruption can cause a loss of the entire zfs pool. there are no zfs recovery tools available, so data recovery can be next to impossible or very expensive.
