Thanks, Ori.
ZFS sounds interesting indeed. The question that comes to mind is: It's
a different creature, with significant emphasis on stability and data
integrity. How come it's unknown? Isn't this exactly what all companies
with a lot of servers want?
Anyone on this list using ZFS on his or her own computer?
As for RAM corruption, I pretty much doubt it. I've seen a lot of it on
embedded systems I've worked with. It always goes along with programs
crashing suddenly and weird kernel messages. But my computer has been
stable as a rock for several years.
Regards,
Eli

Personally, I've twice had data mysteriously corrupted (once on Win2K,
once on Linux), and in both cases it turned out that the RAM was bad;
Since then, I never start using a system until it has successfully run
through 48 hours of memtest.
When you install your next system, consider ZFS / ZoL - it tends to
alert you to bad RAM or bad power supply rather quickly.

Hello all,
TL;DR: My hard disk's filesystem was corrupt, but the SMART statistics
is perfect. Should I replace the hard disk?
