Here in my company we are very interested in ZFS, but we do not care
about the RAID/mirror features, because we already have a SAN with
RAID-5 disks, and dual fabric connection to the hosts.
But you understand that these underlying RAID mechanism give absolutely
no guarantee about data integrity but only that some data was found were
some (possibly other) data was written? (RAID5 never verifies the
checkum is correct on reads; it only uses it to reconstruct data when
reads fail)
um, I thought smarter arrays did that these days. Of course it's not
end-to-end so the parity verification isn't as useful as it should be;
gigo.
