i must pose the question then: is ECC required?
i am running non-ECC RAM right now on my machine (it's AMD and it would support ECC, i'd just have to buy it online and wait for it) but will it have any negative effects on ZFS integrity/checksumming if ECC RAM is not used? obviously it's nice to have as many error correction systems in place, but if all that my non-ECC RAM will do if it fails is make the machine crash and require me to pull out the bad DIMM, i am fine with that (at least this machine) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
