Hello Rabin,
Yes, I'm aware that it's a Solaris thing. Also that it comes with its
own RAID kit and such.
And the fact that it comes from the corporate world could be an advantage.
But the question is if it's something I really would like to have on my
next computer. Given that I like my computer working, and not me working
on my computer. Your experience seems to say "wait a bit with that".
Thanks,
Eli

ZFS is not "native" Linux fs, it was ported from Solaris & BSD OS's,
you can read more about it in the history section of ZFS wiki page

- FreeNAS use it for the NAS storage pool,
- Ubuntu/Canoncial started to integrate it with version 16.04 (IIRC)
- and I also tried it on my laptop with Fedora (which some time's
breaks because of the frequent Kernel upgrades)

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

This could be the result of anything from a power glitch,
strong RF transmission from another device next to the
computer, bad power supply or bad memory. The hard disk itself
is not more suspect than any other component in your system.
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?
